thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services pilots Tesla Semi to advance more sustainable and efficient logistics

The Tesla Semi was evaluated for its potential to reduce downtime and improve delivery efficiency. With live diagnostics and transparent performance data, the vehicle provides greater oversight and real-time visibility to customers on key logistics metrics such as driver speed, delivery routes, and efficiency, increasing supply chain visibility.

The pilot also is the latest in a series of strategic moves by thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services to solidify its position in Renewable Energy Logistics. As an early adopter of alternative fuels, the company continues to explore technologies that drive sustainability and innovation in logistics.

thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services has been a trusted logistics partner to Tesla since 2015. As part of this longstanding relationship, the company was selected as one of the first logistics providers to test the Tesla Semi in an operational setting. During this 3-week demo experience in the winter, thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services delivered goods over nearly 5,000 miles in a variety of conditions, while also regularly traversing Altamont Pass. Plans are underway to integrate a fleet of the electric Semi soon.

“The Tesla Semi aligns with our ongoing commitment to sustainability and operational excellence,” said Bob Denehy, Chief Commercial Officer at thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services. “Its efficiency and diagnostic features, and low environmental impact make it a natural fit for our evolving logistics strategy.”

The initiative reflects thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services’ long-term goal of delivering measurable value to its customers through innovation, efficiency, and environmentally responsible solutions.
