"The indicator beeps even louder!" Christian Lang puts it in a nutshell. According to his experience as an e-truck driver, the advent of the Scania BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) marked a turning point in the health and happiness of the trucking industry. His work life has changed since he found peace, cleanliness, and power.
Every truck driver, in my opinion, should give electric trucks a shot. I didn't fully believe it at first because it seemed too good to be true. But after only a few minutes behind the wheel, I could tell that the electric truck was going to be a hit with the drivers. This car is so quiet and easy to drive that it can't be compared to the last one.
Energy and photovoltaic expert Ing. Johannes Hofer of Conversio GmbH is also pleased. After all, the BEV was his express dream vehicle. After detailed planning, it is now in actual operation - a milestone for his company, as he emphasized at the prominent on-site appointment at Scania's Villach partner Wiegele Trucks.
We are specialists in alternative energy sources. We insist on nothing but the highest quality when purchasing any product—and for us, that means Scania trucks. "The Scania opportunity was perfect for us, so there was no doubt that we would go with them," says the head of a company with 300 employees.
The 8,150-kilogram payload Scania electric truck makes daily trips between the Burgenland, Vienna, and Styria offices of Conversio. That's around 120 km each way. The electric truck quickly covers this distance with its range of 250 km. The BEV can be easily charged with your own electricity at any Conversio location, thanks to the presence of large photovoltaic systems and quick e-charging stations. A full charge of all nine battery packs takes only 45 minutes, thanks to the 130 kW charging system.
