GERMAN forwarding giant DB Schenker opened its first low-carbon city distribution centre in Oslo designed to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 per cent, using electric cars and e-bikes.
Oslo City Hub is part of Electric City, the Oslo district's focus on activities associated with its status as European Green Capital 2019.
DB Schenker is aiming to achieve zero emissions in all city distribution in Norway by the end of 2020. The Oslo City Hub project is the first blueprint of how to achieve this.
'Digitisation and more sustainable solutions will be key competitive factors for future logistics. We at DB Schenker already started this future,' said DB Schenker CEO Jochen Thewes.
'With the low-carbon Oslo City Hub, we are taking another step to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions in our day-to-day logistics business,' he said.
