Pilot project
Still converts service vehicles to electric drive
In a pilot project, Still is initially converting two vehicles in its service fleet to electric drive. More will follow once the test phase has been successfully completed.
The intralogistics provider installed charging stations for electric vehicles on the premises of its Hamburg headquarters in the middle of last year. There is a charging facility not only for electric company vehicles, but also for the electric cars of employees and visitors. Still obtains the electricity required for the charging stations - as well as all of its electricity - from "green" sources.
With the introduction of the first electrically powered service vehicles, the company is taking the next step in its sustainability strategy. The pilot project will initially run for one year to collect data on how the alternative drives can be reconciled with Still's ambitious service concept.
