"Leading Australian transport and logistics company Centurion has rolled out 20
new battery electric trucks from Mercedes-Benz across the Perth greater
metropolitan area, all of which are powered using energy from a 4.4MW rooftop
solar installation.
Centurion announced in early 2024 that it would build Australia’s first 100 per
cent renewable energy off-grid battery electric truck fleet.
The $29 million project, backed in part by the Australian Renewable Energy
Agency’s (ARENA) Future Fuels Program, would integrate 30 battery electric
trucks into the company’s existing fleet and use solar generation and off-grid
battery energy storage to power the trucks.
Originally planned to be rolled out by the end of 2024, Centurion announced
this week that it has been slowly rolling out its new eActros 300 electric
trucks from Mercedes-Benz and is now operating 20 across its metro routes in
Perth."
