TotalEnergies and DAF Trucks NV have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on their joint commitment to develop zero-emission mobility solutions for road transport.
This partnership leverages DAF’s leadership in truck manufacturing and TotalEnergies’ expertise in developing sustainable mobility solutions.
It also underlines both companies’ commitment to supporting the energy transition and meeting the European Union’s CO₂ emission reduction standards.
In essence, the agreement focuses on investigating the opportunities for DAF customers to optimally make use of the TotalEnergies charging network and their roaming services.
This includes accelerating the development of Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) for ultra-fast charging of electric trucks with a pilot initiative helping to shape the future of charging infrastructure; and offering a range of energy solutions from TotalEnergies, to supply low carbon energy products and solutions to the DAF manufacturing sites in order to support DAF in reducing its scope 1 & 2 CO₂ emissions.
“As a key partner of the road transport sector, we are delighted to collaborate with DAF and contribute to the decarbonisation of the industry,” said Mathieu Soulas, Senior Vice President New Mobilities at TotalEnergies.
“This partnership demonstrates TotalEnergies’ ability to provide concrete solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of its customers’ fleets. We need such pragmatic collaborations to make the Energy Transition happen”.
The collaboration with TotalEnergies is, according to Harald Seidel, President of DAF Trucks NV, a great opportunity to combine respective expertise in offering customers sustainable and innovative transport solutions.
“DAF is leading the way in battery electric vehicles, offering zero emission ranges of up to 500 kilometres on a single charge,” he said in a statement.
“The MoU provides enhanced opportunities to accelerate the transition to sustainable road transport solutions.”
