Smart Freight Centre (SFC), an international non-profit organization focused on reducing the emission impacts of global freight transportation, is partnering with PragmaCharge to launch the Poland-Germany Zero Emission Freight Corridor.
The partners say their initiative is a unique opportunity to showcase a model for sustainable and cost-effective electrification of freight corridors.
SFC has already launched a major initiative last year in the US, the I-10 Zero Emission Freight Corridor, electrifying the Los Angeles to El Paso corridor.
PragmaCharge will provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions to help heavy-duty truck fleet owners decarbonise their fleet. Its electric-Trucking-as-a-Service (eTaaS) and Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) solutions include Fleet Electrification Planning software and analytics, comprehensive Charging Services through access to its charging hubs around ports, rail terminals, major freight corridors and logistics depots, fleet management cloud services, and electric truck leasing.
SFC and PragmaCharge have developed a high-level Electrification Plan for the corridor based on the 250 million annual kilometers of trucking data received from participating shippers and carriers, which has the potential of reducing CO2e emissions by ~200k tons/year. The resulting Fleet Electrification Plan was presented during Smart Freight Week in Amsterdam in March 2025.
Christoph Wolff, CEO of Smart Freight Centre, said: “PragmaCharge’s software and analytics using the data provided by our Shipping Logistics partners made a great contribution for a compelling case for Fleet Electrification Plan for the Corridor. Electrification can be cost effective and scalable.
"We invite our valued shippers and carrier partners to join this consortium. We look forward to working with you and the PragmaCharge team in developing Europe's largest road freight decarbonisation program.”
Anil Srivastava, CEO of PragmaCharge, said: “We are targeting the electrification of more than 6 thousand trucks operating per day between the cities of Poznan, Wroclaw, Warsaw and Krakow, and the road network that links these cities with Germany, including the North Sea-Baltic and Baltic Sea-Adriatic Sea TEN-T corridor network.
"Our simplified Charging-as-Service (CaaS1) on €-per-kWh or our integrated Electric Trucking -as-a-Service (eTaaS2) on €-per-Km will deliver TCO-positive solutions to the Carriers to help them accelerate electrification.”
