E-mobility
Efficient on the move, energy in view
Our goal is to make transport logistics efficient while continuously improving our carbon footprint. To this end, we rely on e-vehicles, among other things, and have already switched part of our company car fleet to electric drives.
Our own charging stations in Porta Westfalica-Nammen also make it easy to use the e-cars. We plan to expand the charging infrastructure – also with a view to the possible use of electrically powered lorries.
We also focus on sustainability in our logistics processes: through intelligent route planning, consolidation of consignments and optimal utilisation of our lorries, we avoid unnecessary journeys and noticeably reduce fuel consumption. Combined with strong logistics networks, we create transport logistics that sensibly unites economic efficiency and ecological responsibility.
Reducing energy consumption
As part of our ISO 50001 certification, we continuously work to reduce our overall energy consumption. An important starting point is optimising our fleet. In addition to using “Euro 6” lorries throughout, we plan to purchase several 600 kW electric lorries. These will be charged at our own charging stations at our main site.
Industrial trucks
We also pay attention to sustainable solutions in the rest of our infrastructure. For indoor industrial trucks, for example, we use lithium-ion batteries, which are considered more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than conventional lead-acid batteries.
Photovoltaic systems
With our own photovoltaic systems with a total output of 849 kWp, we already generate a significant share of our electricity needs ourselves. Part of the electricity generated is used within the company and will in future be stored in a planned battery storage system, so that it is also available outside sunshine hours.
