One electric truck's road trip to Norway | DW Documentary

Trucker Tobias Wagner's mission: to get from Germany's East Frisia to Norway in an electric truck. A navigation buoy from the Juister Riff in the North Sea went missing and has turned up in Scandinavia. Now, it's Wagner's job to bring it back. Tackling 900 kilometers, three countries and a ferry crossing — all in an electric truck. To make the trip work, Wagner has had to plan his route carefully. Weight, distance and road incline all affect the truck's range. Finding suitable overnight stops is also crucial, since not all truck parking areas have charging stations. Many in his industry are still skeptical about electric trucks. But freight hauler Nanno Janssen has no doubt: e-trucks are the future. Sixty percent of his fleet already runs on electricity, and he plans to transition the remaining trucks in the coming years. Tobias Wagner is a believer, too. He regularly shares his experiences as "Elektrotrucker" on YouTube. The film follows Wagner on this unusual assignment. It shows how today's electric mobility is already working for long-haul trucking — and looks at the challenges that remain. #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
