HEERO presents the future of electric commercial vehicles at NUFAM 2025 in Karlsruhe
Rising operating costs and emissions requirements demand new solutions for commercial vehicle fleets. HEERO presents itself at the NUFAM in Karlsruhe as your partner for a transition to electromobility that makes economic and ecological sense. Discover how you can reduce total cost of ownership by up to 25%.
The topic briefly and concisely
HEERO presents at NUFAM 2025 in Karlsruhe its patented D2E conversion and new E-Transporters based on Sprinter.
Electrification reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) through up to 50% lower maintenance costs; government subsidies covered up to 80% of the additional costs until 2024.
Visitors can receive personal advice at the HEERO booth and schedule a free practical test.
The commercial vehicle industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the need for locally emission-free powertrains and the pressure to reduce costs. For fleet managers in municipalities, logistics, and trade, the search for sustainable solutions is crucial. NUFAM, the leading commercial vehicle trade fair in southern Germany, is the central meeting point for innovations from September 25 to 28, 2025. In this environment, HEERO presents its pioneering electrification solutions. We will show you how our patented retrofit and our new electric 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
With over 400 exhibitors and 24,000 visitors, NUFAM in Karlsruhe 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. In 2025, one focus of the trade fair is clearly on the topics of e-mobility and alternative drive systems. For decision-makers from municipal enterprises and logistics companies, the "Treffpunkt Kommunal" offers a focused information platform. HEERO is using this stage to demonstrate practical and immediately deployable electrification solutions. The trade fair is therefore the ideal opportunity to find out about the latest developments and to enter into a direct dialogue with leading providers such as 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 conversion. We show how we transform proven Mercedes-Benz Sprinters into powerful electric vans within just 10 days. This solution protects your investments in expensive special bodies and is a prime example of a functioning circular economy. A central argument is the cost-effectiveness, which is proven by a TCO analysis. Visitors can convince themselves of the quality and performance of our converted vehicles. In addition, we present our new HEERO electric vans, which are based on the proven technology of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and offer a range of up to 425 km. Our experts will explain the technical details and application possibilities to you on site. We thus offer the right solution for every need.
Profitability as a driver: TCO advantages of electrification
The decision in favor of 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 amortize within 4 to 6 years. This is due to the significantly lower running costs. Maintenance costs for electric vans can be up to 50% lower than for comparable diesel models. In addition, there are substantial savings in energy costs per kilometer. Another decisive factor is government subsidies. The Federal Ministry of Transport supported the conversion with up to 80% of the additional costs; the KsNI directive ran until 2024, and no new funding calls are planned. We offer you a transparent comparison: converting or buying new? At our stand at NUFAM, you can have your individual savings potential calculated.
Sustainability and Performance: A Contradiction? Not with HEERO
For us, sustainability means more than just reducing CO2 emissions. Our retrofitting is a clear commitment to the circular economy. Instead of scrapping fully functional vehicles with expensive bodies, we give them a second, locally emission-free life. This conserves valuable resources and avoids waste. This approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint of vehicle manufacturing. At the same time, you do not have to compromise on performance. Our electric transporters convince with high torque and sovereign driving dynamics, which play to their strengths especially in urban stop-and-go traffic. An example of successful implementation is the electrification of the Würth service fleet. The combination of emission-conscious action and uncompromising performance is the core of our philosophy.
