Can an electric truck conquer the long-haul journey to Scandinavia?
In short: Trucker Tobias Wagner attempts a 900-kilometer journey from Germany to Norway in an electric vehicle. This documentary explores whether e-trucks are ready for heavy-duty freight or if infrastructure and range limitations still pose too great a hurdle.
The mission involves transporting a missing navigation buoy from the North Sea back to its original location. To succeed, Wagner must navigate three countries and a ferry crossing while managing variables like vehicle weight, road inclines, and the availability of charging stations at overnight stops.
While many in the industry remain skeptical, the film highlights the growing shift toward electrification. For example, hauler Nanno Janssen has already transitioned 60 percent of his fleet to electric power, signaling a significant move toward the future of long-haul trucking.
