Schlager Transport, an Austrian logistics company, has taken significant steps toward sustainability by integrating five electric trucks into its fleet. This initiative, in partnership with tire manufacturer Continental, aims to transform the logistics sector with a clear commitment to electromobility. Schlager’s goal is to transition its entire fleet to electric vehicles by 2030.
Schlager Transport’s decision is rooted in the belief that alternative drive systems, such as electric vehicles, are the future of the transport industry. The company’s electric trucks have already covered over 540,000 kilometers, showcasing the practical potential of electrified logistics operations.
Continental, a long-term partner of Schlager, plays a vital role in this transformation. The company provides Conti Eco tires, designed for longevity and optimal rolling resistance, which enhance the efficiency of the fleet and contribute to lower emissions. The use of Continental’s ContiConnect tire monitoring system ensures tire pressure is always optimal, further improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.
This collaboration represents a significant step in sustainable logistics, combining cutting-edge tire technology with electric mobility to create a more energy-efficient transportation network. It’s a model that other logistics companies are expected to follow as the industry shifts toward greener practices.
As both companies continue to prioritize sustainability, their partnership highlights the increasing importance of eco-friendly solutions in the logistics sector, setting the stage for a greener, more efficient future in transportation.
