DAF partners with an electric charging booking platform
By Luke Willetts - 28th September 2024
Netherlands - Dutch truck manufacturer, DAF Trucks NV has joined an international platform called HDV Booking, which aims to streamline the reservation of public charging stations for electric trucks across Europe. This initiative is part of a larger effort to improve the efficiency and availability of charging infrastructure for long-distance electric truck transport. The system will enable fleet operators to plan routes more effectively by reserving charging points, taking into account variables such as traffic and driver rest periods. This platform, which includes a consortium of various partners (charging facility providers, software developers, etc.), is expected to be fully operational by 2026. DAF’s participation aligns with its commitment to supporting the transition to zero-emission transport, offering electric trucks like the XD and XF Electric with ranges of up to 500 km, extendable to 1,000 km per day with optimised charging during breaks.
