Daimler Trucks’ European FUSO plant on track for CO₂-neutral production in 2022
Tramagal / Stuttgart ― The #Tramagal plant in #Portugal, #Daimler Trucks’ central production location for #fuso in Europe, today announced that its truck-manufacturing infrastructure is setting the course for #green #truck production by achieving carbon neutrality in 2022. In 2019, #Daimler #truck AG announced that all European #Daimler Trucks & Buses plants aim to be CO₂-neutral by the year 2022. In line with this ambition, the #Tramagal plant intends to achieve these climate-friendly production targets through reduced energy consumption, #green energy supply and on-site production of #green energy through solar panels.
Jorge Rosa, Head of the #Tramagal plant, highlights the fact that “CO₂-neutral mobility can only be reached if the vehicle production is also #green. In #Tramagal, our commitment with electric trucks starts the way they are produced. A carbon-neutral production leaves a smaller footprint and we want to be pioneers both in the product and the production”. #Tramagal produces the iconic all-electric #fuso eCanter since 2017. “Sustainability is part of our business strategy and something we believe in. Our future is electric, carbon-neutral and renewable”.
In recent years, the #Tramagal plant was able to progressively reduce CO₂ emissions and is expecting a further 50% cut in 2021 compared to the previous year before achieving CO₂-neutral production in 2022. To achieve that milestone, the plant will reinforce the use of renewable energy sources and adopt process modifications. Those measures include contracting #green electricity, increasing on-site solar power production and switching to self-consumption. The entire internal logistics and warehouse fleet is being converted to electric vehicles. The plant will also be exploring the possibilities of #green hydrogen production with the support of solar panels, to progressively replace natural gas consumption.
Located around 150 kilometers north-east of Lisbon, the #Tramagal plant produces the international light-duty best-seller #fuso Canter and its all-electric sibling the #fuso eCanter. Production of the #fuso Canter started in 1980, and since then more than 230,000 #fuso trucks have been produced in #Portugal.
