Up to eight electric trucks can now repower simultaneously at the Bodaanweg truck park in the Waalhaven, using the five charging points installed by Truckparkings Rotterdam Exploitatie (TRE).<\/p>\n
\u201cSustainable logistics is a key pillar of our strategy for a future-proof port with net zero CO2 emissions,\u201d explained Boudewijn Siemons, interim chief executive and chief operating officer of the Port of Rotterdam Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cProviding charging infrastructure for trucks can make the transport sector more sustainable. Electric cargo transport also contributes directly to better air quality in the port.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 2022 study commissioned by the Port of Rotterdam Authority showed that around 2,000 electric trucks can be expected in the port area by 2030, requiring around 50 charging points.<\/p>\n
Companies like Innocent Drinks and Den Hartogh began using 50-tonne electric trucks in Rotterdam in 2021 and in 2022 DFDS placed an order for more than 125 e-trucks in Europe, some of which will be deployed in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n
No reservations are currently needed to access the charging points and e-trucks are also exempt from a parking fee and can instead use the facilities of the secure truck park without charge.<\/p>\n
\u201cCarriers can schedule smart combinations by, for example, charging their trucks while drivers stay in the truck park for mandatory rest,\u201d said Ton Barten, director of TRE.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a comfortable, safe and easy switch to sustainable transport without any loss of time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
