DP World is trialling two fully electric trucks in the UK as part of the Joint Operators Logistics Trial (JOLT), reports London's Port Technology International.
dp World has deployed two electric heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) from its Swindon base as part of the JOLT programme. The JOLT project aims to test battery electric trucks in real logistics environments across the UK.
The consortium includes 14 fleets, OEMs Volvo, Scania, and DAF, and universities Cambridge and Heriot-Watt. Other stakeholders include software developers, charging network operators, and electric fleet service providers.
The trial supports DP World's 'Our World, Our Future' European Sustainability Plan.
DP World's recent Modal Shift and Carbon Inset Programme trials have moved over 100,000 container journeys from road to rail. These modal shifts saved 25,000 tonnes of CO2 and cut over eight million HGV miles.
The Carbon Inset Programme has registered over 150,000 TEU and awards 50kg CO2 credits per container.
Each JOLT participant will test trucks and chargers for three months across varying logistics operations. The trial will gather data on range, infrastructure needs, battery degradation, and operational viability.
