BERLIN (Reuters) -German logistics provider DHL has signed a partnership deal with Daimler Truck and commercial vehicle rental provider hylane GmbH to rent electric trucks for parcel transport, the companies said on Tuesday.
Under the rental agreement, DHL will obtain 30 electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 trucks via hylane and pay for kilometers driven, rather than purchasing the vehicles.
The trucks are expected to be delivered by the end of the second quarter of 2026, the companies said in a statement.
The Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 is a new battery-electric truck targeting the long-distance segment, which is responsible for two-thirds of all CO2 emissions from heavy road freight transport in Europe, said Daimler Truck.
