The moving and logistics company Friedrich Friedrich from Griesheim has, in November 2025, for the first time put a fully electric truck into operation. According to the company, it is a Fuso eCanter with a permissible total vehicle weight of 7.5 tons, a 30-cubic-meter box body, and a tail lift. The vehicle is intended primarily for in-house logistics of a long-standing customer in Darmstadt. The range of the electrically powered truck is approximately 200 kilometers, according to Friedrich Friedrich.
Vehicle adapted
to logistics requirements
To meet the specific requirements of the moving and logistics business, the vehicle was extensively modified. In the loading floor there are additional tie-down points for straps as well as a holder for pallet jacks to secure the load. Both the body and the vehicle feature LED lighting. A peculiarity concerns the turning assistant: Since the box body is wider than the serial version, the sensors were specially adapted to ensure the full functionality of the system.
Comfort
features for the driver
The driver of the new vehicle, Cezary Musial, benefits from a modernly equipped cab. The eCanter includes, among other things, adaptive cruise control and the Apple CarPlay interface. Friedrich Friedrich emphasizes that this also means that in the commercial vehicle sector increasingly modern driver assistance and comfort systems are finding their way into commercial vehicles as well.
„The introduction of our first fully electric truck is far more than an investment in the fleet; it is a
clear signal for the future of logistics. We thereby show that environmental protection and logistics can indeed go hand in hand,“ emphasizes Ralf Stößel, managing partner of Friedrich Friedrich.
Step towards sustainable logistics
According to the company, the introduction of the first fully electric truck marks an important milestone in the further development of the fleet. Friedrich Friedrich sees this as a clear signal for the future of logistics and emphasizes that environmental protection and logistics are compatible with each other.
