ONE, ANCOTRANS REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS WITH FIRST FH E-TRUCKS IN HAMBURG
May 10, 2024
Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced that it will deploy state-of-the-art Volvo FH e-trucks, together with its long-term partner Ancotrans, to serve the transportation needs of ONE's customers. This will mark a significant step in reducing carbon emissions.
The shipping line noted that it has been providing its customers with more sustainable transportation options since achieving ISO 14001 certification for inland operations in 2021.
One of the first deployments of FH e-trucks in the Hamburg region. The new trucks feature high-performance 540 kW batteries with a range of 320 km and can be charged overnight at Ancotrans' facilities using 100% renewable energy.
ONE said, for example, its customer Yamaha can transport cargo from the Port of Hamburg to Sittensen with a minimum 50% reduction in CO2 emissions when the trucks are charged on the road, increasing to 100% when charged at Ancotrans facilities.
"We are dedicated to making supply chains greener for our customers. Through working together at all points of the supply chain we can collectively make a big difference in reducing carbon emissions. The use of e-trucks is just one of the many steps on ONE's journey to achieve net zero by 2050," said Takahiro Kikuchi, managing director and region head of ONE (Europe) Ltd.
ONE's goal to achieve net zero by 2050 includes scope 3 emissions from external suppliers.
The global shipping line noted that this can only be achieved in close cooperation with all members of the supply chain.
