Joint test drives by BEE and FESH
Following the night-time test drives, Hendrik Vorjans and Gordon Witham took part in a joint research drive for the FESH project with ‘Maja’ and ‘Willi’. In addition to the two retrofitted battery-electric DAF trucks, two overhead line hybrid trucks from the freight company Bode and a battery-electric overhead line truck from Deutsche Post / DHL, manufactured by Scania, also took part. The test drives went off smoothly in wintry conditions.
The five overhead line trucks, which were connected to the overhead line at the same time during the research trip, were used to collect additional data for evaluating the battery storage system from the PowerCharger project.
