In recent years, carbon emissions have shown a downward trend gradually under the influence of various industries and fields in the world. However, the impact of the transportation industry on carbon dioxide is still high. As an environmental pioneer, DB Schenker has already announced its environmental goal as early as 2018, to achieve 20 percent reduction in emissions from trucks weighing over 7.5 tons by 2025 and reach 35 percent reduction by 2030. As a supporter of the Global Climate Initiative EV100*, DB Schenker will gradually turn its distribution fleet into green environmental vehicles.
*EV100 is a global initiative bringing together forward-looking companies that are committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and making electric transportation a new norm by 2030.
Technology leads environmental protection
By launching the new electric energy vehicle project, DB Schenker jointly developed a new concept of technology leading to environmental protection together with the customer. After rigorous route investigation and resource allocation, DB Schenker decided to use electric new energy vehicles in a dual-line and dual-shift mode for the round-trip delivery (Milkrun) in after-sales service. In the current distribution process, DB Schenker ensures 100% punctuality and cargo integrity.
Technology is at your fingertips
In response to strict timeliness standards, DB Schenker sets up a monitoring application on each electric delivery vehicle, and keeps track of information such as outbound, location, arrival, power, and charging of the electric vehicle.
