Everyone is aware that the relevance of sustainability for logistics companies in particular has increased in recent years and is seen as a strategic competitive opportunity. This is linked to the pressure to act resulting from financial burdens in this context:
- Increasing taxation of CO2 emissions
- Rising prices for CO2 emission rights
- Higher truck toll for diesel vehicles
Nevertheless, according to a recent BVL – Bundesvereinigung Logistik – study in the context of “Successfully anchoring sustainability”, the adaptability of companies in the area of sustainability has stagnated since 2016.

🖋 Management capacity is tied up by the diverse and complex challenges, e.g. in the economic and geopolitical environment.
However, this does not have to be the case: With our solutions such as rooftop photovoltaics with long-term electricity supply contracts and virtual power plants, we are making a major contribution in the context of sustainability and decarbonization and overcoming the hurdles for our customers.
The advantages are:
- No burden on the CAPEX budget
- Stable electricity prices that are below the grid electricity prices
- No “greenwashing”
- No specific know-how or own personnel resources required
- A partner who takes full responsibility for the solution (planning, construction, operation, financing)
What’s more, electric trucks are only truly sustainable with green electricity. The increasing solar roof obligation should prompt every decision-maker to consider this option for themselves.
