[Wolfsburg, April 14, 2026] In total, Schnellecke Logistics plans to integrate 20 MAN eTGX trucks. Ten vehicles are scheduled to be put into operation by the end of 2026, with another ten to follow by the end of 2027. Even before the official handover, Schnellecke Logistics had already gained initial practical experience with this vehicle type. In August 2025, a MAN eTGX was tested for two weeks in Braunschweig by Schnellecke Transportlogistik GmbH, and a further trial operation took place in Zwickau in March 2026. The vehicles were used in different operational areas. The insights gained are now being incorporated into the further integration of electric trucks into day to day operations.
Infrastructure for further expansion in preparation
In parallel with procuring the vehicles, Schnellecke Logistics is preparing the construction of its own charging infrastructure and the generation of its own green electricity in Braunschweig. Implementation is planned for 2026. In this way, the company is creating the infrastructural conditions needed to support the local and long term use of electric commercial vehicles.
Representing Schnellecke Logistics at the vehicle handover in Wolfsburg were Nikolaus Külps, CEO, Michael Schütrumpf, CTOO, Lars Otte, CBDO, Thomas Lammer, Vice President Transport, and Felix Krafft, Fleet Manager. MAN was represented by Stephanie Kliem, Truck Sales Representative, and Thomas Schubotz, Head of Truck Sales. Volkswagen Konzernlogistik was represented by Lars Kleist, Head of Truck Network Europe, Lisa Schönke Cain, Procurement of Logistics Services for Land Transport, and Simone Hohls, Truck Network Europe.
HVO100 complements the measures in the existing fleet
In addition to electrifying its fleet, Schnellecke Logistics has also switched from diesel to HVO100 at the company’s first in house filling station as of April 1, 2026. The fuel is produced from biogenic residual materials and can be used in suitable existing vehicles without technical modification. This makes it possible to reduce emissions in the short term while electrification continues to progress in parallel.
For 2026 and 2027, Schnellecke Logistics aims to use well over one million liters of HVO100 by converting additional in house filling stations at further locations.
The current measures are part of the group wide sustainability strategy of Schnellecke Logistics. The goal is to consistently reduce emissions and achieve net zero by 2040.
