December 21, 2021. Logistics company Dachser Finland is investing in low-emissions transports by procuring ten biogas fueled short-distance delivery trucks for its deliveries in the Helsinki Region. Choosing environmentally friendly and fully renewable biogas helps to reduce carbon emissions. A fleet of vehicles powered by compressed biogas (CBG) is, therefore, part of the company’s climate protection strategy to reduce carbon footprint from transportation in the short term, while simultaneously supporting businesses ordering logistics in their environmentally friendly approach.
”It’s particularly important for us to continue seeking, testing and adapting to environmentally friendlier transport solutions through various types of technological advances and scientific innovations. This is why we have also invested in the biogas vehicles – and we’re also proud of doing so. The investment is definitely a step in the right direction to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the short term. This gives us valuable experience to transform our operations going forward,” said Tuomas Leimio, Managing Director, Dachser Finland European Logistics.
”Pioneering companies are taking concrete actions and at the same time setting a new baseline to reduce logistics emissions in the transport sector. Dachser Finland is a brilliant example of a company that helps its customers to reduce emissions cost effectively by switching two thirds of its fleet in one go to biogas-fueled vehicles. Demand for sustainable supply chains is constantly growing in the Nordic countries,” says Markku Suopanki, Senior Sales Manager, Gasum.
