Green power paves the way.
Quite a few years ago, we already began powering our vehicles with diesel fuels manufactured from sustainable resources. In one respect, this makes us less dependent on developments on the market for mineral oil based derivatives, in another, it justifies our claim of being a transport operator with a conscience for the sustainable and responsible treatment of our environment.
Our bio-diesel and organic oil fuelled fleet is at home on the roads of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We employ bio-diesel based on rape-seed oil. From a technical point of view, all our vehicles are already prepared for the use of bio-diesel when they come off the production line. However, it is not so simple to fuel a conventional HGV with organic oil based fuels. This is the reason why our workshop team has converted several of our existing vehicles for the use of organic fuels. As you can see, we do everything within our power to protect the environment.
Two-thirds of our total fuel requirement is now covered by bio-fuels. We regularly invest an average proportion of eight to ten percent of our revenues in environmentally-relevant vehicle improvement. A clear sign of the way we address the future.
