May 2, 2022. Haulage and logistics company Sandahls Logistik aims to phase out fossil-fueled transport in its operations by 2025 and has chosen to invest in biogas-powered vehicles for road transport. To this end, Gasum has concluded a new biogas fuel agreement worth several hundred million Swedish crowns with Sandahls Logistik and will now build two new public stations next to the logistics company’s terminals. At the same time, Sandahls Logistik will invest in 120 new biogas-powered trucks from Volvo Trucks, which started to deliver them in March this year. The cooperation agreement is one of the biggest in the Nordic biogas sector to date.
Sandahls Logistik is a transport partner of Volvo Trucks and transports Volvo truck cabins from the production plant in Umeå to assembly in Gothenburg. Volvo Trucks has a coherent environmental approach for its transport between the two cities and so has chosen to partner with Sandahls Logistik with its clear environmental focus. Gasum will deliver biogas under a comprehensive multi-year fuel agreement and long-term work to help the logistics company to completely phase out fossil fuels by 2025.
Volvo Trucks uses both truck and train transport to move truck cabins, among other things, from Umeå to Gothenburg. With Sandahls Logistik’s environmental ambition of fossil-free transport in 2025, the company is investing heavily in 120 trucks from Volvo Trucks, which will be purchased from Finnvedens Lastvagnar.
“The new biogas trucks and a wider network of gas filling stations in tandem with our green railway routes allows us to provide truly fossil-free transport from door to door,” says Mikael Ingesson, Managing Director of Sandahls Logistik.
