We have added three units of the 100% electric Renault Trucks E-TECH T and have made agreements to boost them in collaboration with Frit Ravich, the leader in the production and distribution of Snacking products, and Saint-Gobain, the leading manufacturer of lightweight and sustainable construction solutions. The consolidation of this project aligns with our strong sustainable vision, which continues to focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as technological innovation and energy efficiency in our operations.
With the implementation of these green routes, we significantly reduce our environmental impact per journey: the combined total of the three vehicles represents a reduction of 820 kg of CO₂ per day, equivalent to an annual saving of 205,700 kg of CO₂ in the atmosphere. This figure aligns with our decarbonization goals, as well as those of our partners, and responds to the demand for a reduced carbon footprint in the industry. The electric-powered tractors are ideal for domestic and medium-distance routes. In the case of Frit Ravich, the distribution will take place across Catalonia, particularly in the province of Barcelona, while for Saint-Gobain, the operation will connect its production centers, and deliveries will primarily take place in the province of Zaragoza.
In this context, Renault Trucks has been our partner for the electric project, with the Sustainable Last Mile initiative, using the RENAULT TRUCKS RT E-TECH T Electric model. This vehicle, with 490 kWh of power, operates 100% with green energy, with no NOX or particle emissions. Furthermore, it offers a smooth and silent driving experience, with optimized range and recyclable batteries.
Beyond the investment in three electric units, we also highlight the significant focus to maximize energy efficiency in our facilities : we have our own electric chargers and are self-sufficient thanks to the renewable energy generated entirely by our photovoltaic panels. This eliminates our reliance on external energy and facilitates operational optimization.
The incorporation of 100% electric vehicles adds to the set of sustainable solutions we offer as a transporter: rail transport with adapted vehicles, the use of renewable fuels such as HVO, and efficient double vehicles like the duotrainer. These solutions enable us to make significant progress in our transition towards more sustainable transport. With these initiatives, we continue to move forward in our goal to achieve NET ZERO by 2050.
