Wörth am Rhein - The Mercedes-Benz Wörth plant recently celebrated the opening of the new charging park for electrically powered trucks supplying the plant with the commissioning of six new fast-charging stations for trucks in the presence of Steffen Weiß, Mayor of the town of Wörth. Together with Andreas Bachhofer, Head of the Wörth site and Mercedes-Benz Trucks Production, Steffen Weiß gave the official starting signal for the truck charging park on the factory premises, illustrated by a symbolic connection of power cables.
The construction of the fast-charging park at the Wörth site is an important milestone in the further electrification of road freight transport: Mercedes-Benz Trucks is also focusing on electric trucks in its own supply chain and aims to electrify 100 percent of delivery traffic into the largest truck plant by the end of 2026. Since the start of the project, 20 percent of the deliveries of production materials ordered directly by Daimler Truck have already been electrified. An integral part of Mercedes-Benz Trucks' future inbound logistics concept for emission-free delivery traffic is also the establishment of a plant-owned charging infrastructure at the Wörth site. It is a further example of the Daimler Truck brand's TruckCharge offering, which covers topics such as consulting, infrastructure and operation relating to e-infrastructure and the charging of electric trucks. The establishment of an in-house charging infrastructure ensures that haulage companies can charge their trucks during waiting and unloading times. Eight charging points have already been installed and put into operation on the factory premises in Wörth. This offer is now being supplemented by the new fast-charging park with six additional charging stations, with the option of adding two more charging stations that meet the requirements for future megawatt charging needs. The new fast-charging stations are located in the immediate vicinity of the plant entrance at Gate 2, through which delivery traffic enters the Wörth plant. Read more
