Sieber Group with next step towards green logistics
The logistics company Sieber is actively committed to more sustainability with a variety of measures and does a lot to involve its customers with new possibilities. Since May 2023, the electric vehicle fleet has also been greatly expanded.
In the Swisscleantech trade association, the Sieber Group is committed to the climate in the "Green Logistics" sub-project. One important component concerns electromobility in the transport sector. Technological progress has been made here in recent years, enabling transport and logistics companies to use e-vehicles on a daily basis and for different transport tasks.
A total of 21 fossil-free vehicles in use at Sieber
Since May 2023, a total of 21 electric vehicles have been available to customers for a wide variety of transport jobs. Thanks to the different superstructures, the e-vehicles are ideally suited for a variety of environmentally friendly and CO2 emission-free transport tasks, the company says. In a second phase (2024/2025), the Sieber Group is planning further investments in the existing charging infrastructure - where possible, also in combination with photovoltaics and energy storage. In terms of e-transport vehicles, the company plans to further expand its environmentally friendly fleet step by step.
Rail transport: environmentally friendly and efficient
Combined transport (CT) is another success factor for green logistics. In 2022, a total of 6,800 trailers were loaded, covering a distance of around 1,800,000 km. Last year, rail transports reduced 2,083 tons of CO2. At an average speed of 70 km/h, Sieber was thus able to replace 25,700 truck driving hours per year in an environmentally friendly manner.
In cooperation with Swiss Climate and as one of the first logistics service providers in Switzerland, Sieber also gives its transport customers the opportunity with "GOgreen" to determine and offset their individual CO2 emissions at the shipment level and to improve their own CO2 footprint. In this way, transports can be made climate-neutral. Sieber offers various solutions for compensation in the form of different climate projects. Whether sustainable and biodiverse management in the Swiss forest, stopping deforestation in Parà, Brazil, or renewable energy from sawdust in Bulgaria, the new possibilities offered by "GOgreen" are already being actively used.
