Transport with electric lorries is more efficient than with conventional diesel vehicles. Combustion engines will only convert around 1/3 of the energy contained in diesel into motion, whereas the electric motor converts almost 100% into kinetic energy.

Even the economic efficiency is also unbeatable. If you generate and store the energy yourself in a green way, you can reduce the costs to around 5ct per kWh. This would correspond to a price of 45ct per litre of diesel. Due to the higher physical efficiency, the drive costs per kilometre can be reduced by 50% compared to diesel at current market prices for electricity and by up to 80% if you generate your own energy. With rising diesel prices due to the CO2 tax, the differences will become even more extreme in the future. And in Germany, e-trucks are exempt from tolls; in Austria, for example, the toll rate is reduced to 1/4 compared to the cheapest combustion engines.

• But how do you generate sufficient quantities of energy by yourself? By implementing local en-solution logistics projects.
• How does this help the logistics sector in long-distance transport? Through the networking of many local en-solution^® logistics projects in Europe
