How do you actually decarbonize freight — without building trucks or producing fuel?

In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations, SFC CEO Christoph Wolff speaks with Tobias Bohnhoff, CEO of shipzero, about the critical role of data in freight decarbonization.

They discuss:
– Why data is the foundation of credible climate action
– Primary vs. modeled emissions data
– The scaling potential of Book & Claim
– How logistics providers build green freight products
– The role of policy, business case, and climate budgets
Freight decarbonization doesn’t start with fuel — it starts with decision-grade data.

In this episode, Christoph Wolff, CEO of Smart Freight Centre speaks with Roel Vissers, Chief Commercial Officer of Milence, about building Europe’s first dedicated charging network for heavy-duty electric trucks.

Milence — a joint venture between Volvo Group, TRATON Group and Daimler Truck — is working to break the “chicken-and-egg” barrier slowing electric truck adoption.

In this episode, we cover:
• The chicken-and-egg barrier in electrification
• Public vs. depot charging economics
• Grid constraints and permitting delays
• Electric truck availability and use cases
• Residual value risk and Total Cost of Ownership

With 33 hubs already operational and further expansion planned this year, Milence is shaping the backbone of zero-emission road freight across Europe.

Watch the full conversation and learn how infrastructure, policy, and industry collaboration must align to accelerate freight decarbonization.
