The route, operated in partnership with Ahréns Åkeri, is expected to significantly reduce emissions. The goal is to achieve a 97% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions (WtW) while optimising transport efficiency, with 85% of the vehicle’s annual mileage completed with full loads.
The route will cover a total of 221,000 km per year, resulting in a saving of 298 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. This is equivalent to Sweden’s annual CO₂ emissions of 210 passenger cars. The initiative demonstrates that implementing electric transport is a viable strategy for creating sustainable logistics solutions. In Europe, 60% of all road freight travels more than 300 km per day, showing that even the more complex and extensive parts of the transport system have the potential for electrification.
A collaboration for reduced emissions
“This partnership is a significant step forward in transitioning to sustainable logistics. Through collaboration between transport buyers, carriers, and charging partners, we are not only reducing emissions but also maximising utilisation, which is key to economically sustainable transport. Our goal is for this to become a benchmark for future logistics solutions in Europe,” says Johan Palmqvist, Managing Director Europe, LOTS Group.
“This collaboration helps us ensure energy efficient and environmentally friendly transports to our customers, who support our ambition to reach net zero climate impact in the whole value chain,” says Måns Isacsson, Logistics Manager, SKF Sverige.
