Sports car manufacturer relies on green drives
Porsche and its logistics partners are using six new electric HGVs (heavy good vehicle) - most of them from Scania - at its Zuffenhausen, Weissach and Leipzig sites in Germany. The vehicles transport production materials around the plants, working alongside an existing fleet of 22 biogas-fuelled HGVs. Another electric HGV delivers new vehicles to Switzerland from the Zuffenhausen plant.
The company is also testing the use of synthetic fuels (HVO100) in a multi-year trial under the scientific supervision of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. For this purpose, twelve HGVs from the existing fleet will be deployed around the Zuffenhausen plant – but now they will be powered by re-fuels. (ben)
