Austrian logistics company Quehenberger is further expanding its electric truck fleet. By the end of 2026, the company - which operates for the drugstore chain dm, among others - will nearly double the number of its own e-trucks from 13 to 24 alongside building the necessary charging infrastructure.
Quehenberger Logistics is one of the pioneers of fully electric freight transport in Austria: as early as 2018, the company was among the pilot customers for the MAN eTGM, a 26-tonne battery-electric truck for distribution transport, which was later produced in a small series.
Much has happened since then – and Quehenberger now holds the largest known electric mandate with the drugstore chain dm. After deploying the first three battery-electric trucks for the customer in 2024, Quehenberger has been serving around 100 dm stores in Vienna with ten electric trucks since spring.
By the end of the year, Quehenberger’s electric fleet is now set to grow further, though the company – based in Straßwalchen near Salzburg – has not disclosed which customers the new electric trucks are intended for. In any case, by the end of 2026, the number of electric trucks is to increase from 13 to 24 vehicles – including the expansion of the necessary charging infrastructure. According to the company, this will mean that 60 per cent of its Austrian fleet will be electrically powered in the future. After that, the electric fleet is to triple again within two years, with 50 additional electric trucks to be added.
