Södra banking on electricity
The Swedish forest industry group Södra is launching a major initiative to electrify large parts of its vehicle fleet. A new project will study the future potential to operate electric-powered trucks, forklifts and loaders that can help further reduce the association’s fossil-fuel emissions.
Södra is currently a net producer of electricity and is aiming to reach net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2040. The project includes the electrification of logging and chip trucks in Södra’s own haulage business as well as vehicles at mills. Every day, 1,000 of journeys are made by heavy road transports from Södra members’ forests to the mills.
