Wren Kitchens begins electrification of heavy goods fleet

Reported byElectrive ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

UK kitchen retailer Wren Kitchens has taken delivery of 10 electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 tractor units, marking the start of its broader ambition to operate an all-electric HGV fleet. The trucks feature 621kWh battery capacity with 500-750km range and can recharge 20-80% in one hour.

Worth noting

This is the first phase of fleet electrification; broader implementation timeline and long-term viability depend on sustained charging infrastructure and economic conditions.
