• DHL presents the “Extended Range Electric Vehicle” (EREV) developed with Scania for the first time at the International Transport Forum in Leipzig

  • Key insights after approximately 22,000 kilometers driven: The vehicle provides the necessary operational flexibility and energy reserve, operates 90% of the time in electric mode, and enables stable operations
