Today is an especially good day to be working at DSV 🌍   We have signed an agreement with Volvo Trucks to deepen our partnership and deploy 300 electric trucks into our operations by 2026. This is in direct alignment with the strategy DSV - Global Transport and Logistics published earlier this year, where we outlined our roadmap for achieving our climate targets by 2030. As part of that plan, we committed to deploying 300 electric trucks and other low- and zero-emission alternatives within the next two years, while also significantly improving the efficiency of our remaining diesel fleet. Today’s agreement is a clear execution of that strategy 💪   We are working hard on establishing the necessary charging infrastructure to support this transition, while our colleagues around the world are deploying BEVs into the most optimal flows and operations in close cooperation with our sub-suppliers and customers. This agreement will further support rapid deployment in our key markets.   I am looking forward to continuing the work of bringing electrification to market at scale and making even more sustainable solutions available to our customers 🚚🔋

We just placed an order for yet another 100 electric trucks 🚛🔌 We currently have the largest fleet of heavy-duty electric trucks in Europe, and with this step, we're closer to reaching the target of electrifying at least 25% of its truck fleet by 2030. "We want to drive the transition to more sustainable road transport. Our expanding fleet of electric trucks will not only contribute to reducing the climate impact of our operations. It will also enable DFDS to support more companies looking to decarbonise their supply chains. The 100 new electric trucks underline our commitment to pushing the development forward," says Niklas Andersson, EVP of the Logistics Division. We ordered 125 electric trucks in 2021. 95 are in operation today in Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and the last 30 will be delivered in 2024.  Join us in our journey towards a more electrifying future, and stay tuned for more updates on our new E-trucks ⚡🔌💡 #dfds #WeMoveForAllToGrow #etrucks #wetakeaction Volvo Trucks

Navigating the future // Rhenus Partnership Revolutionises European Inland Shipping! Pioneering a new era in sustainability for inland shipping. Three flagships belonging to a new low-emission fleet generation are currently under construction in order to advance sustainability in inland shipping, but what sets these vessels apart? - Engineered to navigate even in low water levels and withstand strong currents, these vessels redefine inland waterway capabilities. - These vessels, unmatched in size and performance, are powered by a scalable lithium-ion battery, advanced Stage VI engines, and a hydrogen-based fuel cell—a historic first. - Emission reductions are impressive: a 72% cut in CO2 and NOX emissions thanks to the fuel cell integration. - Featuring partial autonomy, remote control, and maintenance facilitated by continuous data transmission to shore, these ships herald a new age of control and efficiency. At Rhenus, we focus not only on innovative technologies, but also on sustainability and efficiency. Our vessels are ready to tackle the challenges of todays and tomorrow’s inland navigation. Together, we are shaping an environmentally friendly future on the water. #togetherwithpassion #rhenus #sustainability

🚛🔋 Electric trucks are making significant strides across Europe, but progress isn’t uniform. Countries like the Netherlands and the UK are seeing rapid growth in electric truck registrations, while others are lagging behind. For instance, the Netherlands has seen a 3% increase, and the UK and Norway are also experiencing strong growth. As the European leader in home and living, we are committed to driving sustainability. We are working towards increasing our fleet of electric trucks in Germany to 300 by 2024. This goal aligns with our mission to make logistics greener and more efficient. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) highlights these trends, showing that the future of transport is electric. Companies investing in electric trucks today are shaping the logistics of tomorrow. At Rhenus Home Delivery, we are proud to lead this transformation and drive the industry towards a more sustainable future. Together, we can build a cleaner and smarter transport network. #rhenushomedelivery #togetherwithpassion #electrification #sustainability #futureoflogistics

👋🏻 Farewell to fossil fuels! We successfully converted our AGV fleet at our climate-neutral* Container Terminal Altenwerder in Hamburg to battery-powered drive. 🔋 We officially decommissioned the last diesel-powered AGV this month. From now on, the new AGV fleet consists of 95 battery-powered automated guided vehicles that run on green electricity. Fossil energy is no longer necessary at any stage of the container transport process from the ship to the container storage system – it is now entirely electrified. 🌱 By switching to battery-powered AGVs and the associated significant reduction in diesel consumption, around three million litres of diesel are saved at our Container Terminal Altenwerder every year, which is equivalent to around 8,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. *More info on our website. #GatewayToTheFuture #logistics #sustainability #greenenergy
