The noiseless and emission-free truck is used for shuttle services between coop.ch RVZ Bussigny and the coop.ch distribution platform at Galliker in Conthey. It not only delights our customers but is also positively perceived by pedestrians and neighbors of the pick-up and delivery locations. The planned annual output is around 130,000 CO2-neutral kilometers driven. The noise and vibrations in the cab are significantly lower than with diesel engines. Driving is therefore quiet and stress-free. In addition, an electric motor delivers its maximum torque straight away, which enables smooth power delivery.
