Goal: increasing the availability of electric trucks / DAF Trucks has joined HDV Booking, a consortium that is working on establishing a platform for reserving public charging points for trucks in Europe. This will further increase the availability of fully electric DAF trucks, particularly for long distance transport. HDV Booking is a new consortium that includes providers of charging facilities, card reader systems, transporters and software developers. It is working on a platform that will enable transporters to find and reserve available charging points. This will facilitate the most efficient planning and routes for electric vehicles. Improved planning of loads will help limit waiting times and make longer distances possible, including international routes. HDV Booking aims to be operational throughout Europe in 2026. (....)
