Contargo puts 33 DAF XD Electric trucks into operation

German transport company, Contargo has put 33 electric XD 350 FT 4×2 tractor units into service.

The vehicles will be used, among other things, for transporting containers between Contargo’s 25 container terminals in Germany, France, and Switzerland.

The Mannheim‑based company has been working with DAF for many years in the field of zero‑emission logistics. In 2019, Contargo was one of the first German transport companies to put two fully electric DAF CF trucks into operation, and subsequently expanded this number.

With the delivery of 33 DAF XD Electrics – together with the XF Electric named ‘International Truck of the Year 2026’ – Contargo now operates a fleet of nearly 100 fully electric trucks.
