PRESS NEWS: Quehenberger Logistics achieves E-Mobility Milestone: dm Delivery in Vienna fully electrified

Sustainable Success with Impressive Environmental Results

The ten electric trucks in Quehenberger's fleet deliver to around 100 dm stores in Vienna daily, operating completely noise-free and emission-free whilst achieving impressive environmental benefits. With an annual CO₂ saving of 389 tonnes, this corresponds to an environmental relief equivalent to 2.78 million car kilometres or the electricity consumption of approximately 278 households. At the same time, noise pollution in the federal capital is significantly reduced.

"The complete electrification of dm delivery in Vienna reflects our strategic alignment towards a climate-neutral future," explains Klaus Hrazdira, COO at Quehenberger Logistics. "As a leading logistics service provider, we see ourselves as having the responsibility to develop innovative transport solutions that are both economically and ecologically sustainable whilst ensuring the highest service quality."

Quehenberger: Pioneer for Holistic Sustainable Logistics

The Viennese electric truck fleet is part of Quehenberger's continuous expansion of sustainable transport solutions and a comprehensive sustainability strategy that intelligently links various approaches:

• Electromobility: Systematic expansion of the electric vehicle fleet in urban conurbations with bespoke charging infrastructure and optimised route concepts that ensure maximum efficiency with minimal environmental impact.
• Digital Optimisation: AI-based route planning and tour optimisation to reduce empty runs and maximise transport efficiency through intelligent data analysis.
• Green Infrastructure: Continuous investments in sustainable logistics centres and renewable energy solutions at locations.

Pioneering Partnership as a Model for the Industry

The strategic collaboration with dm demonstrates exemplarily how well-considered logistics partnerships can lead to measurable environmental improvements. Over the past year, transport routes were optimised step by step, capacities precisely calculated, and technical infrastructure systematically expanded.

"Together with partners like dm, we develop bespoke solutions that combine economic efficiency with ecological responsibility," emphasises Paul Weissenberger, responsible Project Manager at Quehenberger Logistics.

Outlook: Vision for a Climate-Neutral Logistics Future

The milestone is an important step for Quehenberger Logistics on the path to climate-neutral logistics and simultaneously the starting point for further ambitious projects. The company pursues a clear roadmap:

• Fleet Expansion: Extension to further conurbations and international markets with proven concepts and continuous optimisation of operational processes.
• Technology Innovation: Continuous optimisation of range, charging infrastructure, and energy efficiency in close collaboration with technology partners and vehicle manufacturers.
• Industry Pioneer Role: Active sharing of best practices and insights with other logistics partners to accelerate the transport transition across the entire industry.
