Pioneering work for climate protection
There are only a few fully electric car transporters in Europe - most of them are one-offs. This makes Hödlmayr's commitment all the more significant:
- Almost 59 tons of CO₂ saved annually
- 240 km range with a full load
- Fast charging with at least 160 KW
The car transporter is based on a Mercedes E-Actros 300+ with a Kässbohrer trailer and is charged between work shifts or overnight. For CEO Johannes Hödlmayr, the project is a logical step:
"As an international logistics company, we have a responsibility for the future. The use of e-trucks is an important part of our sustainability strategy."
More than just a pilot project
Hödlmayr is already thinking ahead: two additional e-trucks are being planned, and up to 90 percent of the entire vehicle fleet is to be powered by renewable energy by 2040.
A central component of this strategy is the photovoltaic system with an output of 5.8 MWp, which is currently being installed on the carports at the Schwertberg site.
Zero Emission Transport - a common goal
The Vienna Chamber of Commerce's Zero Emission Transport project shows how companies can voluntarily take responsibility. 41 companies are already taking part - and Hödlmayr is proud to be one of the pioneers.
“Sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive, but are the basis for future-proof mobility,” emphasizes Johannes Hödlmayr.
With each further step, the company is getting closer to its goal: emission-free and sustainable logistics for the future.
