Frank Harms, professional driver at the forwarding company Klumpp + M\u00fcller, switched to an electric truck in April of this year and cannot imagine switching back to another vehicle. The numerous advantages he experiences daily during his breaks and waiting times at company visits convince him anew every day. He particularly appreciates the quietness that the electric truck offers, as it is almost silent even during operation \u2013 a significant advantage when it comes to using the air conditioning or heating without causing noise pollution. <\/p>\n

Harms emphasizes the reliability of the electric drive: every morning, the battery is reliably charged to 100%, which gives him the confidence to complete his routes without range anxiety. He finds the driving characteristics of the electric truck remarkable, as they do not differ from those of a diesel truck, whether on straight roads, in curves, or when braking. <\/p>\n

Harms also highlights the high safety standard of electric vehicles, equipped with modern assistance systems such as cruise control, lane assist, and adaptive cruise control. The rearview camera also makes it easier for him to maneuver when entering yards, without the need for a second person to guide him. <\/p>\n

The electric drive is also an important aspect for Harms. The e-trucks at Klumpp + M\u00fcller's site are charged, among other things, with electricity from their own photovoltaic system. Harms is convinced by the driving characteristics and the daily use of the electric truck and recommends making the switch. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
