LKW WALTER is committed to reducing its Scope 3 emissions by 30 percent by 2030 compared to the base year 2023. The expansion of Green Corridors by concentrating on Combined Transport in combination with alternative fuels and drives in the feeder services is one of the most effective measures to achieve this. As decarbonised door-to-door solutions, Green Corridors can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 90 percent.
We will also expand the use of alternative fuels such as HVO100 in conventional road transport. Compared to conventional B7 fossil diesel, HVO100 saves around 90 percent of CO₂ emissions. The LKW WALTER Book & Claim System, verified by an external provider, ensures that we can transparently and comprehensibly prove the use of emission-reduced fuels and drives along the entire transport chain. Our customers benefit from this because they can have these CO₂ savings credited to their own emissions balance calculation.
Due to various factors, such as the higher acquisition costs of the vehicles and the low availability of Bio-LNG, the proportion of gas-powered vehicles in Europe is still low. Nevertheless, we are optimistic that LBG-powered vehicles will also play a role in achieving our climate goals by 2030.
Battery-electric vehicles (BEV) are already a familiar sight on European roads in short-distance transport, city logistics and for lighter vehicles. But in the heavy-duty transport sector, too, all well-known manufacturers now have initial production models on the market or will be introducing them shortly. High investment costs, the limited availability of charging infrastructure, as well as the higher weight and the short range pose major challenges for the transport industry. Nevertheless, LKW WALTER believes in the future of battery-electric vehicles, especially on shorter routes such as in the feeder services of Combined transport. We already have initial vehicles in use in this area, and more will follow.
Customers who book alternative fuels such as HVO100 with LKW WALTER are automatically included in our Book & Claim System. This system documents transparently and bindingly that the booked fuel quantity was actually refuelled – and that the resulting CO₂ savings are exclusively credited to the respective customer.
The LKW WALTER Book & Claim System, verified by an external provider in accordance with the internationally recognised Smartfreight Centre MBM Framework, ensures that we can transparently and comprehensibly prove the use of emission-reducing fuels and drives along the entire transport chain. LKW WALTER thus guarantees its customers that the required quantities are actually fuelled and that the emission savings achieved are only credited to one transport on a one-time basis.
