How can you drive more than 1,000 kilometres in 24 hours with an electric truck featuring a nominal range of 300 km?

In Switzerland, Hugelshofer Logistik has taken up the challenge with a Renault Trucks E-Tech T, demonstrating that the performance of a heavy-duty electric truck is not based on battery capacity alone, but on a comprehensive operational strategy.

In this video, discover:
- how optimised routes are organised with double crews
- how charging is integrated into mandatory driver rest periods
- how daily operating time is maximised
- how total cost of ownership (TCO) is optimised

Thanks to a high-performance charging infrastructure - 30 fast-charging stations delivering up to 480 kW, with 95% of charging carried out at the depot - the Swiss haulier regularly covers more than 600 km per day under normal operating conditions.

And on a record day, one truck even reached 1,007 km in 24 hours.

Martin Lörtscher, CEO of Hugelshofer Logistik, shares a clear conviction:
👉 the transition to decarbonised road freight transport depends on the alignment between vehicle, operations, infrastructure and regulatory framework.

At Renault Trucks, we support our customers throughout this transformation towards high-performance electric mobility, tailored to real-world long-haul operations.
