An increased utilization of HCT vehicles would increase energy efficiency and thereby reduce CO2 emissions and increase the capacity of the infrastructure system.
The challenge for future urban planning is to create an attractive and sustainable urban environment with efficient handling of freight and passenger transport.
In the pilot project City Logistics, DB Schenker has managed to reduce traffic with heavy vehicles in the inner city of Gothenburg. The result shows lower emissions, less noise and increased accessibility.
The electrification of heavy long-distance transport is a complex issue, and DB Schenker has therefore chosen to participate in the E-Charge project, which develops, tests, and demonstrates battery-electric long-distance truck transport.
