The transport company Wenzl from Gols is 60 years old this year. Yesterday the family company presented the first electric truck.
The company was founded by Harald Wenzl’s parents. Under his leadership it grew constantly, and his children Kerstin and Johannes have also been with the business for five years. The Wenzls employ 150 people and have 120 trucks. The latest “child” is a Volvo type FM – with an output of 666 hp. Six battery packs are installed in the towing vehicle, which deliver up to 540 kWh and thus ensure sufficient range for a variety of regional transport tasks. From Burgenland to Vienna and back. This will be the area of responsibility of the electric truck: The Wenzl company will receive goods from Lidl in Vienna collect and distribute to the branches in Burgenland. Fixed promised range: 300 to 320 kilometers. Wenzl has been driving for the discounter for more than ten years, and the “E-Truck” project is being carried out together. Lidl wants to make all of its delivery traffic emission-free by 2030. There was great interest in the truck. Representatives from politics, business as well as customers and friends of the Wenzls were present at the presentation. Mayor Kilian Brandstätter congratulated the family on their success and said: “The Wenzls live the Golser DNA, that is, they want to move things forward and have been showing for decades how it can be done.” State Governor Hans Peter Doskozil also congratulated the company and emphasized that they are ahead Everyone in the family always knows who you are doing the work for. If the children then take over, that would be perfect. “The future lies in e-mobility,” says Doskozil. “Even though I wouldn’t have believed that a few years ago.” By the way: The truck not only runs emission-free, it is also whisper-quiet thanks to the special trailer. Positive for all residents!
