Mosolf starts using electric transporters in Germany

At its Illingen branch Mosolf is operating six fully electric transporters. The trucks are supplied by etruck maker Designwerk and the tailers are supplied by Kässbohrer. It said it will add another six in 2025. In doing so, Mosolf aims to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 1,000 tons annually at the Illingen site, reinforcing its commitment to climate-neutral freight transport. The trucks will be able to move more than 40,000 finished vehicles a year. Mosolf said that by 2030 it will reduce scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 40%.

The initiative is supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, which provided funding of €2m ($2.2m). Transport minister for Baden-Württemberg Winfried Hermann said: “Climate-neutral freight transport is no longer a thing of the future, even on the road. The technology is there, and it works. Our goal is that by 2030 every second ton of freight transport will be transported in a climate-neutral manner. Here we can see how forward-looking companies are already putting this into practice today. As a state, we will support companies in their implementation.”

Dr Jörg Mosolf, CEO of Mosolf Group added: “With the introduction of the new service product, we are underlining our commitment to more sustainable transport solutions. This gives our customers the opportunity to operate in an even more environmentally friendly and efficient manner. The new product is part of our corporate strategy, which includes the transformation of our truck fleet to low-CO2 drive technologies.”

In 2023 Mosolf started working with Smatrics for the provision of a truck charging infrastructure at Mosolf locations throughout Germany. Smatrics is a subsidiary of Verbud and the German EnBW.

Last year Mosolf also began working with technology provider Spectaire to measure vehicle emissions in real-time operations using Spectaire’s AireCore micro mass-spectrometer tool.
