Sustainability and Electric Trucks: The Green Shift Accelerating in 2025

As 2025 winds down, the push for sustainable logistics is no longer a distant goal—it's rolling out on highways worldwide. DHL's recent deployment of Tesla Semi trucks marks a milestone, with the logistics giant adding dozens of these all-electric beasts to its fleet for long-haul routes. Capable of up to 500 miles on a charge and zero tailpipe emissions, the Semi is proving that heavy-duty trucking can go green without sacrificing performance.

This isn't isolated. Major players like PepsiCo, Walmart, and Sysco have expanded their electric fleets this year, driven by tightening regulations in the EU (NIS2 sustainability mandates) and U.S. states like California aiming for zero-emission trucks by 2045. Battery tech advances have slashed charging times to under an hour, and mega-chargers are popping up at key depots from Rotterdam to Los Angeles.

This transition brings new security wrinkles. Electric trucks rely heavily on connected systems—telematics for battery management, AI-optimized routing, and remote diagnostics—which expand the cyber attack surface. A hacked charging station or compromised ELD could strand a load or worse, enable theft during vulnerable downtime.

Sustainability isn't just good for the planet—it's the future of efficient, resilient hauls. As electric trucks become the norm, blending green tech with ironclad security will separate leaders from the pack.
