Positive experiences
with electric truck
Environment
In September 2023, the first of 11 Frode Laursen electric trucks started running on
Danish roads, marking the addition of yet another alternative power solution to
our palette of green options.
“In recent years, developments with electric trucks have really taken off, and
we can now start meeting customer wishes for electrically powered distribution.
Even today, the range and capacity of electric trucks is sufficient for local distribution, and this will only improve once we start taking delivery of newer models,”
says Allan Munkholm Poulsen, COO of Road Denmark.

Frode Laursen’s experience with its new electric truck has been positive.
“All things considered, I have to say it’s gone really well. After extensive
preparations, we were able to handle the bumps in the road that inevitably
crop up when you embark on anything new,” says Allan Munkholm Poulsen,
mentioning this winter’s cold weather as an example of the sorts of things
you have to factor in when driving an electrically powered vehicle.
Frode Laursen has invested in its own recharging station for the
electric truck, which runs from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. before returning to base
to be recharged so it is ready to drive off again at 8 p.m.
“It’s going well, even though it’s a different way of doing things, which
can sometimes be challenging. The drivers have embraced it, and I’m
looking forward to seeing the other electric trucks on the road in 2024,”
says Allan Munkholm Poulsen.
