Climate Report 2030
NORD-LOGISTIK GmbH is a Logistics Service Provider based in Luebeck-Travemuende. Our core competencies lie in the transportation of goods for national and international customers. With our quality standards, our logistics expertise, our innovations and our DIFOT record we have been successful in expanding our customer base beyond the borders of Germany. Our most important corporate goals are
- Strict fulfilment of customer requirements at competitive prices
- Protection of the environment
- Sustainability
As a transport company we are of course aware of the environmental impact our business is having on the environment which we are taking conscientiously in all our decision-making processes. The results derived from this help minimizing negative effects on the environment. To be fair, however it must be pointed out that here the efforts made by transport companies are limited by a number of issues. Most importantly there is the slow development in alternative propulsion systems away from the Diesel engine. At present there is no system on the market that meets the requirements by operators in terms of range, re-charge/replenishment points, not to mention the estimated capital expenditure. In addition it must be pointed out that the re-charging infrastructure in Germany and most other European countries has a lot of room for improvement. That notwithstanding we have done everything so fare and will continue to do everything in our power to adapt our vehicle fleet to conditions as applicable. Currently our vehicle fleet has an average age of 1.7 years, all with the Euro-6 emission standard. Vehicles deployed within the PostNord network meet the company’s equipment policy of <8 years old, and Euro-6 compliance. Irrespective of these overriding considerations, we are currently holding discussions with potential e-truck suppliers such as Iveco-Nicola, Daimler, among others regarding the availability and purchase of suitable e-trucks and the installation of the relevant electrical charging system. Further discussions with Iveco-Nicola have been dashed following the separation of the two organizations. Talks with Daimler are continuing. We meet all requirements in terms of fuel quality in Germany, with plans for the use of HVO 100 are currently being finalized. On approval and in consultation with our customers we will use this fuel quality across our fleet. In Sweden we have been using HVO 100 successfully in two of our vehicles. Due to the low average age of our fleet the tyre equipment meets all current standards and norms as applicable. In the course of our scheduled maintenance and inspection policy tyres are changed to the latest development standard where necessary.
All drivers are continuously offered training courses including Eco-Driving-Methods to improve productivity and economy. Besides basics, advanced training courses are also carried out.
All vehicles are equipped with aerodynamic devices to optimize fuel efficiency.
All vehicles are inspected and maintained in accordance with manufacturers’ and statutory requirements.
We strictly observe the environmental compatibility of hydraulic oils and all liquids and the compliance of all oils with ruling regulations.
NORD-LOGISTIK GmbH collects and stores all relevant data essential for the assessment of environmental compatibility. By using modern analysis software we can our drivers tips how to further optimize their driving style.
OUTLOOK
In view of the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2030 NORD-LOGISTIK GmbH will closely observe the further development of trucks powered by batteries, Hydrogen, Fuel-Cells, and LNG. Through constant monitoring of new developments we will ensure that we can make economically viable additions to our fleet with such alternatively powered vehicles if necessary. In addition we need to watch the development of the charging infrastructure and together with its expansion, access and availability as only that will enable an economical operation of a truck fleet. We will of course continue to focus on the further development of engines, tyres, fuels and alternative propulsion
Concepts and examine their possible application within our fleet.
SKANDINAVIEN ALLEE 5
PERO Dienstleistungs GmbH as landlord of the premises at Skandinavien Allee 5 is making every effort to ensure that the office buildings, the warehouses and the open spaces around the buildings meet all sustainability regulations. New developments in building insulation technology and heating systems are being assessed as to potential saving possibilities and implemented. PERO Diesnstleistungs GmbH is currently examining the economical feasibility of installing a photovoltaic structure on the roof of the buildings. Discussions are being held at present with a leading electrical service provider in Luebeck, to ascertain all aspects of such installation, including carrying capacity of the roofs, the required size and overall specifications of the system and possible governmental subsidies.
