On the site of the former Berlin Tempelhof Airport, MAN Truck & Bus, in the presence of Federal Transport Minister Dr. Volker Wissing will drive a near-series prototype of his upcoming electric truck in public for the first time. A special technical feature of the forward-looking electric lion, which will be making its market debut in 2024, is its preparation for future megawatt charging. ABB E-mobility, a leading global provider of charging solutions for electric vehicles, intends to bring megawatt charging technology to market in the next three years. MAN and ABB E-mobility are thus igniting the next stage of electromobility: suitability for heavy-duty long-distance truck transport with daily ranges of between 600 and 800 kilometers. With their clear commitment to electromobility, the two companies are also making it clear that industry is ready, and politicians must create the framework for emission-free road freight transport. www.mantruckandbus.com; www.abb.com
