LOGISTICS services provider DB Schenker has unveiled stricter carbon dioxide reduction targets for its fleet of commercial vehicles. The goal is to cut CO2 emissions from trucks weighing at least 7.5 tons by 20 per cent by 2025 and by 35 per cent by 2030.
Speaking at Deutsche Bahn's 'Green November' initiative, DB Schenker CEO Jochen Thewes said: "To encourage the forthcoming structural transformation in the automotive industry and the availability of alternative drive technologies in freight transport as well, I consider the ambitious CO2 reduction targets for commercial vehicles of 20 per cent by 2025 and 35 per cent by 2030 to be absolutely feasible."
Having joined the global climate initiative EV 100, DB Schenker has decided to gradually convert its fleet of distribution vehicles to electromobility. The objective is to retrofit all vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons with electric drives or fuel cells by 2030. Half of all vehicles weighing between 3.5 and 7.5 tons will also be electrically powered by then.
The company already operates electric-powered vehicles in Austria, Italy and Norway as well as electric bikes for transporting goods in a dozen European cities.
Mr Thewes called for collective action to be taken to reduce CO2 emissions from trucks weighing over 7.5 tons: "Everyone must participate including, and especially, the manufacturers. We need to make the long overdue technological leap in the imminent structural transformation in the automotive industry."
