These are two of the main topics in our society and economy. HEINLOTH – the logistic experts consistently implement these targets in the transport and logistics industry. 

We constantly modify our fleet with the latest emissions-reducing technology to keep the CO₂ emissions as low as possible. We also require our permanent forwarding partners to equip their vehicles with environmentally friendly technology (EURO V and EURO VI).

Our vehicles are equipped with the latest generation of telematics systems. In addition to vehicle tracking via GPS, this gives us the possibility to retrieve information about the vehicle's Diesel consumption and the driving and braking behaviour at any time. This data is evaluated periodically, forming the basis for the regular training of our drivers.

With the help of state-of-the art IT, our dispatchers make sure the vehicles are used to capacity, avoiding unnecessary mileage.

For us, the economically efficient use of combined road and rail traffic is of great importance.

To reduce the CO₂ emissions, we consistently use electrical industrial trucks in our transhipment and logistics centres.

Our transhipment and logistics centres are highly efficient and temperature-insulated. Thermal pumps compensate for large temperature differences. In spring 2018 a solar power system that allows us to use self-generated power was put into operation.

With the consistent use of most basic technical equipment, for instance master-and-slave sockets, and of highly sophisticated technologies such as sensor-controlled daylight-dependent dimming of the hall lighting, we managed to significantly reduce our power consumption.
