Schenker France strengthens its commitment to fleet decarbonization, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.
The company has developed an energy mix strategy, expanding its electric vehicle fleet and incorporating alternative fuels such as HVO and BioGNV.
Road transport accounts for 41% of Schenker France’s CO₂ emissions, with 183,770 tons of greenhouse gases emitted in 2023.
To reduce this impact, the company has implemented a sustainable mobility strategy based on three key pillars:
- HVO Biofuel: The HVO-powered truck fleet will expand from 240 units in 2024 to 410 in 2025, achieving an 83% reduction in CO₂e emissions.
- BioGNV: Schenker France currently operates 65 trucks running on this alternative fuel.
- Electrification: The company will double its electric truck fleet, reaching 135 operational units in 2025.
Additionally, Schenker France is advancing the decarbonization of last-mile logistics, with electric tricycles deployed in 30 cities, including four urban centers under the “Les Triporteurs Français” brand.
More Renault Trucks E-Tech Vehicles
Schenker France has placed its largest electric truck order to date, adding 60 new Renault Trucks E-Tech D and 6 Renault Trucks E-Tech T tractors, supported by funding from ADEME.
These vehicles will join the 69 electric trucks already in operation, reinforcing the company’s presence in urban, suburban, and regional distribution.
“Our goal is to be the global leader in low-carbon logistics,” highlights Frédéric Vallet, President of Schenker France.
“We are investing in an efficient energy mix, and electric trucks are a key part of the solution. This is another step in our commitment to sustainability,” he adds.
Infrastructure for E-Mobility
To support the electrification of its fleet, Schenker France has adapted its logistics centers, integrating generation, distribution, and self-consumption energy solutions.
This transformation will enable the company to optimize its electric vehicle usage and continue its transition towards a more sustainable transport model.
