First electric truck in building materials distribution in Germany
In cooperation with Fulda University of Applied Sciences and with funding from the State of Hessen, STARK Deutschland put its first battery-electric truck into operation. The project aims to present a decarbonisation concept that can serve companies and politicians as a plan for a green transformation of heavy goods transport.
We believe we must work with our suppliers and partners to improve efficiency and adopt new technologies to reduce emissions from distribution and transport, even as our business grows. Using electric trucks reduces carbon emissions and air pollution and contributes to a much quieter city.
CO2 reductions from Helsinki deliveries
From April 2022 STARK Suomi switched to the use of renewable HVO diesel in all its transports in the Helsinki metropolitan area, accounting for one million kilometres annually and more than 30% of all STARK Suomi transport. HVO diesel has 90% lower carbon emissions compared to conventional diesel.
“The decision is a strategic investment in sustainability, as we see that responsible operations create a competitive advantage for us and ensure long-term profitability and growth,” says Anne Koskinen, Sustainability Manager in STARK Suomi.
