The broad electrification of the truck segment in Germany is still in its infancy, despite the recent introduction of battery-electric heavy-duty truck models with long-haul capability and the imminent tender publication for the initial truck charging network. The cancellation of the KsNI-funding program for vehicle and charging infrastructure has hit hard on the cost-sensitive logistics industry.
