Today, we celebrate Earth Day and remind ourselves of our work to defend our planet and strive for a greener future. Can you imagine a planet where logistics leaves only a minimal environmental footprint?
At METRANS, we are doing everything we can to turn that imagination into reality. In the past year, our full CO2 offset has reached over 230,000 tonnes.
Rail: The game-changer in green transport
Rail transport remains 1 of the most climate-friendly ways to decision goods across Europe, yet it inactive needs greater attention and support. Just 1 METRANS train replaces over 50 trucks, importantly reducing emissions and road congestion. As cities grow and supply chains evolve, rail deserves more attention than always before.
But we don’t just decision containers. With an extended terminal network, energy-efficient electrical trains, and innovative lightweight flat wagons, we’re maximizing capacity while reducing our environmental impact. Our customers don’t gotta choose between efficiency and sustainability – they get both.
Expanding our climate-friendly network
2024 was a milestone year for our green logistics efforts:
More sustainable transport along the Silk Road: All shipments between Malaszewicze and METRANS hinterland terminals now operate under HHLA Pure, ensuring operation with reduced emissions.
100% green rail energy in the Netherlands: We’ve switched to full renewable energy for rail transport.
Solar power innovation: Our fresh photovoltaic strategy in northern Germany, in partnership with Enerparc, strengthens our ability to make clean and self-sufficient energy production.
HHLA Pure
If you haven’t heard of HHLA Pure, it’s our initiative to offer lower-emission transport from port to hinterland. Developed with HHLA, it’s an essential part of our long-term strategy to reduce our carbon footprint.
The logistics manufacture is evolving. Together we’re moving toward a more sustainable planet.
