E-trucks in action for Jungheinrich!
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions along the supply chain is a major challenge. Find out all the details here about a best practice that we have realised together with our logistics service provider F.A. KRUSE JUN. TRANSPORT LOGISTIK RENTAL APS.
Our service provider F.A. Kruse jun. has recently started using fully #electric trucks for its transport logistics. The company wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make a contribution to climate protection. For us at #Jungheinrich, this means that our transport of goods and therefore our supply chain will also become a little more sustainable. The use of electric trucks is special, as they are still a rarity in German road transport.
Trucks on tour...
F.A. Kruse now has three electric truck tractors with a maximum range of 350 to 400 kilometres. Two more are expected to be added in August this year. The electric trucks are used for regional transport and carry shuttle routes for us between our external warehouse at F.A. Kruse in Brunsbüttel and our plant in Norderstedt. There are usually nine shuttle routes per working day. Three of these are currently handled by e-trucks, saving us around 60 tonnes of CO2 per year (according to data by F.A. Kruse). For Jungheinrich, the switch to e-trucks is almost cost-neutral.
The truck starts in Brunsbüttel and travels approx. 85 kilometres to Norderstedt. Once there, its trailer is unloaded. The truck then drives back to Brunsbüttel and arrives at the charging station. The electric trucks are powered by green electricity. In just a few weeks, the charging points will be supplied with solar power. The PV system for this has already been built.
Sustainability comes together on many levels in our collaboration with F.A. Kruse: We only manufacture electric forklift trucks, thereby helping to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in warehouses. The #lithium-ion batteries for these forklifts are checked in terms of quality by our logistics service provider, repackaged and delivered to us in Norderstedt by electric trucks in an environmentally friendly manner. There, we install them in sustainable electric forklift trucks.
