DFDS, a Danish logistics company, placed an order for six battery-electric terminal tractors from MOL and Volvo Penta as part of its broader initiative to electrify its terminal fleet. The six electric units will join DFDS's existing 280 diesel-powered vehicles, which the company plans to gradually replace with zero-emission alternatives. MOL and Volvo Penta will supply the battery-electric tractors, marking a concrete step toward DFDS's sustainability goals in port operations. The deal was announced on April 3, 2026, and reflects DFDS's commitment to reducing emissions in its logistics operations.
