Electric chassis PTO for e-truck delivering materials for customers in Copenhagen

Story

STARK is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and gradually converting its fleet from diesel to a more sustainable power source. Therefore, the company decided to use an electric truck to deliver building materials to STARK customers in and around Copenhagen. The range and energy capacity of DAF’s full-electric truck means it can be utilized for various working vehicle applications, including mobile cranes. Being fully electric, the truck helps to keep the air clean in the capital, makes construction more sustainable, and meets the growing demand for emissions-free construction sites.

Challenge

DAF’s full-electric truck can be used for various working vehicle applications, including mobile cranes. The electric DAF CF has a 13-ton payload and a range of 220km between charges making it perfect for distributing goods in urban areas. Nevertheless, the e-truck was not equipped with an electrical power take-off (PTO) to provide the hydraulic pressure and flow necessary to power the Palfinger 26-ton/meter crane.
