Einride and DAF have signed a letter of intent for the supply of 50 fully electric new generation DAF trucks.
These state-of-the-art vehicles will be added to Einride’s fleet of electric heavy-duty vehicles, which is one of the largest of its kind in Europe, DAF wrote in a statement.
The first vehicles out of the series of 50 have been ordered and will be delivered in the course of this year, the statement noted.
The Leonard order will comprise DAF XD electric trucks in a wide range of specifications, which the company will deploy with various customers.
The vehicles will be equipped with three to five battery packs for ranges of up to 500 ‘zero-emission’ kilometers. All vehicles are delivered with DAF repair & maintenance packages. Maintenance will be carried out through the DAF dealer network, with over 1,100 locations all over Europe, the company said.
Commenting on the development, Richard Zink, Director Marketing and Sales and member of the DAF Board of Management, said, “We are proud to deliver our New Generation Battery Electric vehicles to Einride, which is a leader in the supply of innovative mobility packages, purely based on fully electric vehicles. As the partner of choice, we offer a total solution aimed at getting the best out of the vehicle.”
