DSV launches first renewable energy assets in Sweden
New facilities feature over 100,000 square metres of rooftop solar panels, which generates 14 MWp of energy.
DSV announced the opening of its first renewable energy assets at their warehouse facilities in Landskrona, Sweden.
The milestone is another step for DSV towards its goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, says an official release. "The project not only reduces DSV's own carbon footprint but also supports its customers' goals and ambitions by decarbonising logistics solutions."
The new facilities feature over 100,000 square metres of rooftop solar panels, which generates 14 MWp of energy. This is enough renewable energy to power the facilities, charge electrical vehicles and supply additional energy back to the local grid, the release added.
"This important initiative goes beyond just powering our own operations; it seeks to create a sustainable energy approach for both DSV and our customers, especially in sectors like road transportation," says Brian Ejsing, Group COO, DSV. "By doing this, we can aid in the electrification of road haulage services, which is essential for improving energy security and for our decarbonisation strategy."
The new facilities in Landskrona are driven by DSV's ambition to reduce energy demand and dependence on fossil fuels. "This is illustrated by the charging station infrastructure at the facilities that will be used to charge electric trucks and vehicles."
Together with the newly opened 345,000 square metre logistics facilities in Horsens - by far the largest in Europe and in DSV's network - the new facilities and renewable energy assets in Landskrona will serve as a pilot project for future logistics infrastructure, the release added.
"With the launch of our state-of-the-art renewable energy assets, we have reached a key milestone in our journey towards a decarbonised DSV," says Anders Rousing, Vice President, Group Operational Sustainability, DSV. "This development will not only provide us with critical insights but also help shape best practices for our upcoming projects. I am optimistic about the positive impact we can make going forward." 
The assets will be managed by DSV Energy, a part of DSV's sustainability division developed specifically to handle our renewable energy programme, the release added.
