Emissions-Free Transport: Number of Participating Viennese Companies Increases

The initiative, which is set to run for a total of three years, started six months ago. During this time, participants have covered 450,000 kilometers with electrically powered vehicles. It was emphasized that 125 tons of CO2 have been saved. Responsible for this are small and larger companies from various industries that have aligned their fleets to avoid using diesel or gasoline vehicles in the relevant districts whenever possible. The total fleet currently consists of 188 fully electric cars, delivery or freight trucks, and even buses.

Now on board is also Billa's parent company Rewe. Christian Hörner, Managing Director for Warehouse and Transport, reported that since the beginning of the year, three electric trucks have been in operation in the two districts. Due to the positive experiences, it has been decided to acquire more of them. The bakery Felber is also a new project partner and has recently gradually increased the number of fully electric vehicles, as Managing Director Doris Felber explained. This, she added, also brings advantages for the residents. Because the nighttime delivery to the branches is quieter and without emissions.
