It has recently come to light that Gruber Logistics has been using a battery-electric truck to transport component parts between its warehouse in Auer and Alpitronic’s production facility in Bolzano since spring 2026. The shuttle service operates several times a day along the approximately 20km route, directly supplying the European market leader in high-power charging stations with the components required for production.
The zero-emission transport is carried out using a Scania P230 B6x2*4NB — a pioneer among electric trucks. Originally introduced by Scania in 2020 as a solution for regional haulage, the e-truck offers a range of 250km and a gross vehicle weight of 26 tonnes, with a tare weight of around 12.5 tonnes.
However, the collaboration extends beyond mere transport services and includes mutual technological upgrades. Gruber Logistics has installed charging points using Alpitronic technology at its sites, while the charging infrastructure specialist benefits from electrified transport for its own production.
“Our long-standing cooperation with Alpitronic continues to develop steadily. We have installed our own charging stations using Alpitronic technology and, within the framework of the European FLEXMCS project, we are jointly working on the development of megawatt charging infrastructure,” explained Martin Gruber, CEO of Gruber Logistics. “The deployment of our Scania electric truck for Alpitronic once again highlights the strong partnership between our two South Tyrolean companies.”
