Giessen, 5 April 2025 \u2013 E. van Wijk Logistics takes delivery of six new DAF XD Electric trucks<\/strong>
E. van Wijk Logistics has welcomed six brand-new DAF XD Electric trucks to its fleet. These fully electric tractors, offering a range of up to 500 kilometers, are currently being tested in collaboration with DAF Trucks. The delivery follows a successful earlier trial with the DAF XF Electric, which has been in daily operation since last year. With this latest addition, E. van Wijk electric fleet will grow to a total of twelve vehicles by the end of this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n\n \n

The DAF XD Electric is part of DAF\u2019s latest generation of trucks \u2014 specifically designed for zero-emission urban and regional transport, without compromising on performance or driver comfort. These vehicles represent a new era in transport and logistics, focused on electrification, sustainability, and technological innovation.<\/p>\n

That forward-looking vision is also reflected within the family business itself. At the time of delivery, a symbolic moment was captured: Ewout van Wijk, CEO and third generation of the family-owned company, received the keys to the new DAF trucks alongside his son Matthieu \u2014 the fourth generation. Together, they look ahead to a sustainable future where innovation and responsibility go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

The six new trucks will be deployed on selected routes and play a key role in the current testing phase, where real-life performance, operational readiness, and charging infrastructure are being closely evaluated. To support this, E. van Wijk operates its own charging infrastructure, fully powered by 2,800 solar panels with a capacity of 1.5 megawatts. Combined with a 4.3 MWh battery storage system, this setup enables the company to charge up to eight electric trucks per day \u2014 fully emission-free.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis delivery marks another important step in the decarbonization of our logistics operations,\u201d<\/em> says Ewout van Wijk. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of our collaboration with DAF Trucks and Truckland and we will continue to invest in smart, sustainable solutions. For today and for the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div> \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n \n <\/div> \n
