EUTRACO launches the rollout of the largest electric truck fleet in Belgium

By the end of 2025, 25% of the fleet will be electrified, representing a total investment of €14 million.

Roeselare, 19 August 2025 – Logistics service provider EUTRACO today officially took delivery of the first four of a total of fifty Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric trucks. The handover took place at the premises of Ghistelinck Autobedrijven in the presence of CEO Serge Gregoir.

With this investment, EUTRACO is taking another concrete step towards achieving its ambition: fully emission-free transport by 2035.

“We are not investing in e-trucks because our customers demand it, but because we want to offer them the most sustainable logistics solution,” says CEO Serge Gregoir. “The eActros 600 fits perfectly into our daily operations thanks to its 500-kilometre range, smart charging planning, and on-site charging infrastructure.”

Sustainability as a driver for innovation

EUTRACO considers energy and emissions as strategic components of its operations. Transport electrification goes hand in hand with investments in solar panels, battery storage, and smart Energy Management Systems. Charging stations for the e-trucks are currently being installed at the logistics campuses in Roeselare, Ghent, and Willebroek.

“Sustainability should not come at an extra cost,” Gregoir adds. “With smart choices and technology, we can become both more efficient and more responsible, without passing the initial purchase cost on to the customer.”

Partnership with Ghistelinck Autobedrijven and Daimler Truck

The cooperation with Ghistelinck Autobedrijven and Daimler Truck Belgium was crucial for this project. Together, they worked on the operational plan, financing, maintenance contract, and integration of the e-trucks into the existing fleet. “We have selected routes where electric driving can already make a difference today,” says EUTRACO’s transport team. “The e-trucks will be used for regional distribution and dedicated customer routes.”

Ghistelinck Autobedrijven will ensure phased delivery in the coming months and will continue to provide service and technical support. The financing of the 50 eActros 600 trucks was made possible by Daimler Truck Financial Services Belgium. Through their eService Leasing formula, DTFS offers a flexible and comprehensive financing solution for the entire eMobility approach.

Next milestone: Leading role in sustainable logistics

In the coming years, the company will continue to invest in electrification, energy efficiency, and digital emission tracking, also for customers.

“We not only want to reduce our emissions but also make them transparent and share them,” Gregoir explains. “This is essential for the sector to make progress.”
