Tackling eTruck charging for sustainable transport

The freight industry is on the verge of a transformation—not just in how goods are transported, but in how transportation impacts our planet. Trucks, long known for their diesel emissions and environmental impact, are evolving. Electric trucks (eTrucks) are leading this change, promising a cleaner, more sustainable future for the industry.

Why eTrucks? Why Now?

The push for sustainability has never been more important. The European Union is targeting a 90% reduction in truck emissions by 2040, making the transition to eTrucks essential. At the same time, consumers and businesses are demanding greener solutions, with 78% of people supporting sustainable business practices.

Charging Ahead with Innovation

Switching to eTrucks means more than replacing diesel engines with electric ones. It requires building a robust charging infrastructure and rethinking fleet management. Charging large fleets of eTrucks, each with massive batteries, calls for advanced, high-powered solutions. This is where accilium steps in, helping businesses create reliable, efficient systems for eTruck charging and fleet operations.
