PRESENT AT THE ELECTRIC MOBILITY EXPO
With the first electric truck in Latin America
The incorporation of the first 100% heavy electric truck to our transport fleet has been a novelty and an example for the entire cargo transport sector in our country. That is why we were invited to participate in the first Electric Mobility Expo organized by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining on the grounds of the Maroñas National Racecourse.
Over the course of two days, thousands of visitors were able to get up close and personal with the imposing dimensions of our unit, inquiring about its features, its load capacity and its autonomy, among other aspects. To do this, in addition to having an explanatory video of all the technical details, we have the invaluable contribution of our designated driver Andrea Ballarres, who proved to be an expert in handling the equipment and also a great representative of BITAFAL regarding the requirements of visitors to the event.
The exhibition also constituted a forum to exchange on the advances of electric mobility in Uruguay and the challenges that lie ahead. In that instance, our Technical Director Santiago Kröger participated in the panel “Voices on the road: the experience of users in the territory”, presenting our experience, the first results obtained and the results to national authorities, business representatives and the media. specific charging infrastructure needs that heavy electric trucks require, thinking about extending their radius of action in the interior of the country.
The Electric Mobility Expo was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate with facts the great commitment to sustainability of our company, the commitment to reducing emissions and caring for the environment.
