The commercial vehicle industry is facing a profound transformation driven by the need for emission-free drives and the pressure to reduce costs. For fleet managers in municipalities, logistics, and craftsmanship, finding future-proof solutions is crucial. The NUFAM, the leading commercial vehicle trade fair in southern Germany, will be the central meeting point for innovations from September 25 to 28, 2025. In this environment, Heero presents its groundbreaking electrification solutions. We will show you how our patented D2E conversion and our E-new vehicles based on the Sprinter not only meet ecological requirements but above all significantly reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
NUFAM 2025: The industry meeting point for forward-looking mobility
The NUFAM in Karlsruhe, with over 400 exhibitors and 24,000 visitors, is one of the most important platforms in the commercial vehicle industry. It offers a comprehensive overview of the entire range of services, from heavy trucks to light commercial vehicles. A key focus of the trade fair in 2025 is clearly on the topics of e-mobility and alternative drives. For decision-makers from municipal companies and logistics companies, the 'Communal Meeting Point' offers a focused information platform. Heero uses this stage to demonstrate practical and immediately deployable electrification solutions. The trade fair is thus the ideal opportunity to learn about the latest developments and engage directly in dialogue with leading providers like Heero. This creates a solid basis for well-founded investment decisions.
HEERO in Karlsruhe: D2E conversion and new E-vehicles in focus
The focus of our trade fair appearance is the patented D2E conversion (Diesel-to-Electric). We demonstrate how we transform proven Mercedes-Benz Sprinters into high-performance E-Transporters within just 10 days. This solution protects your investments in expensive special bodies and is a prime example of circular economy in practice. A central argument is the cost-effectiveness, which is evidenced by a TCO analysis. Visitors can be convinced of the quality and performance of our converted vehicles. In addition, we present our new HEERO E-Transporters, which are based on the proven technology of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and offer a range of up to 425 km. Our experts explain the technical details and applications on site. Thus, we offer the right solution for every need.
Profitability as a driver: TCO advantages of electrification
The decision to use electric commercial vehicles is significantly influenced by the total cost of ownership (TCO). While the acquisition costs for electric vehicles may be higher, they often pay off within 4 to 6 years. This is due to the significantly lower ongoing costs. The maintenance costs for electric transporters can be up to 50% lower than those for comparable diesel models. Additionally, there are substantial savings in energy costs per kilometer. Another crucial factor is government subsidies. The Federal Ministry of Transport supports retrofitting with up to 80% of the additional costs; applications must be submitted by August 31, 2025. We offer you a transparent comparison: retrofit or buy new? At our booth at NUFAM, you can calculate your individual savings potential.
Sustainability and Performance: A Contradiction? Not with HEERO
Sustainability means more to us than just reducing CO2 emissions. Our D2E conversion is a clear commitment to the circular economy. Instead of scrapping fully functional vehicles with expensive superstructures, we give them a second, emissions-free life. This conserves valuable resources and prevents waste. This approach significantly reduces the CO2 footprint of vehicle manufacturing. At the same time, you don't have to compromise on performance. Our e-transporter impresses with high torque and a confident driving dynamics that really shine in urban stop-and-go traffic. An example of successful implementation is the electrification of Würth's service fleet. The combination of ecological action and uncompromising performance is the core of our philosophy.
