--- title: "Alex Garin Electric Trucks News" description: "The iconic maker of Goldbears and other gummy treats is making a serious move toward sustainability. HARIBO has teamed up with logistics partner Recht Logistik to deploy battery-electric semi trucks for emissions-free shipping across key European routes. This isn’t just window dressing. The German candy giant is putting Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric semis (or similar heavy-duty EVs) into service for regular runs between its production and distribution hubs in Grafschaft, Neuss, and Eindhoven. These routes are perfect for electrification — predictable distances that fit nicely within the trucks’ up to 600 km (about 370 miles) of range per charge. With 400 kW fast-charging capability, the electric rigs can quickly top up and stay on schedule, keeping those factory-fresh gummies moving without a drop of diesel.The switch forms part of HARIBO’s broader push to cut transport-related carbon emissions. Electric semis deliver instant benefits here: zero tailpipe emissions, quieter operation for urban areas, and lower long-term operating costs thanks to reduced maintenance on electric powertrains.For a company that’s been making joyful candy since 1920, this feels like a natural evolution — bringing the same innovation and quality to its supply chain that fans expect from every bag of gummies.As more big brands look to decarbonize logistics, HARIBO’s move adds another high-profile name to the growing list of companies betting on electric trucking. Sweet progress, indeed." url: "https://motorwatt.com/community/stream/item/4023" date: "2026-06-14T03:19:35+00:00" language: "en-GB" --- Loading cover...
