ORTEN Electric-Trucks Delivers Battery-Electric ET400 to Henkel for Zero-Emission Plant Logistics

The vehicle will support Henkel’s internal transport operations and help further reduce emissions in operational logistics. The ET400 was developed for demanding applications on industrial sites and offers an electric alternative to conventional diesel-powered vehicles used for trailer movements, material flows, and plant logistics.

For industrial companies, on-site transportation is a particularly suitable area for electrification. Vehicles on factory grounds, logistics yards, and enclosed industrial sites often travel along defined routes and follow recurring operational cycles. This allows battery-electric drive systems to be efficiently integrated into existing processes. With the ET400, Orten Electric-Trucks offers a robust vehicle platform designed for reliability in daily operation.

More Than Just a Vehicle Delivery: Support for the Industry
The delivery to Henkel underscores Orten Electric-Trucks’ role not only as a vehicle supplier but also as a partner for the electrification of industrial transport processes. The company helps customers transition specific applications from diesel to electric, taking into account key factors such as usage profile, trailer configuration, charging infrastructure, site conditions, and total cost of ownership.

This application-oriented approach enables industrial companies to electrify their internal transport operations without having to fundamentally change existing logistics processes.

The ET400 is particularly well-suited for applications where safety, visibility, maneuverability, and availability are critical. The vehicle offers excellent all-around visibility, an optimal view of the coupling area, and a comfortable driver’s cab for daily use. Thanks to its flexible platform, the ET400 can be used with various trailer and transport configurations, allowing it to be adapted to different requirements in industry and logistics.

Technical Platform

The ET400 platform combines high-performance electric drive technology with flexible battery and charging options. The high torque of the electric drive enables precise maneuvering at low speeds as well as reliable trailer handling in demanding industrial environments.

Key features of the platform include:

• Battery-electric drive for locally emission-free operation

• High torque for trailer movements and industrial transport tasks

• Scalable battery concept tailored to the application profile

• AC and DC charging options for integration into existing on-site processes

• Ergonomic driver’s cab for daily use

• Flexible configuration for various trailer and transport applications

The delivery to Henkel demonstrates that battery-electric specialty vehicles already represent a practical solution for demanding in-plant transport tasks. Orten Electric Trucks thus supports industrial companies on their path toward more efficient, quieter, and more sustainable plant logistics.
