Dutch logistics companies are transitioning their delivery fleets to electric vehicles to meet sustainability requirements and navigate zero-emission zones.

Van Gelder groente & fruit has initiated a transition by deploying two large Renault electric trucks for supplying customers in Amsterdam and Den Haag. These vehicles utilize electric propulsion and refrigeration systems to ensure emission-free transport. The company also plans to replace smaller vans with electric versions and install a large charging station in Ridderkerk.

Similarly, JLN Transport has deployed the Iveco S-eWay, a heavy-duty electric truck, to provide grocery distribution services for Lidl. The vehicle features a 603 kWh battery pack with a claimed range of up to 600 kilometers. This deployment supports Lidl’s objective to transition its Dutch distribution fleet to entirely electric vehicles by 2027.
