According to Sawyer Merritt, DHL Supply Chain Vice President Stephan Schablinski confirmed that DHL has ordered a significant number of Tesla Semi trucks, with plans to expand its fleet further in 2026 as Tesla increases volume production. DHL's two-week, 3,000-mile trial of the Tesla Semi showed impressive results, averaging 1.72 kWh per mile at speeds over 50 mph and completing a 390-mile test fully loaded at 75,000 lbs. Schablinski highlighted that these performance metrics open new business opportunities, enabled by advanced AI fleet management and optimization technologies. The Tesla Semi's integration is expected to enhance operational efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 metric tons annually, and support DHL’s target of 66% zero-emissions last-mile delivery vehicles by 2030. This move positions DHL at the forefront of AI-enabled, sustainable logistics. (Source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter)
