The Environment

In our Mission Statement, we articulate quite clearly and bluntly that Grieshaber Logistik AG has an obligation to a sustained solution of issues affecting the environment.

Mission Statement 10

We take on social responsibility for our staff, for our environment and for the sustainability of our actions.

Our aim in this is to enact, step by step, the guiding principles of a multi-generational development, to make it feasible, comprehensible and measurable.

Vehicle fleet

The Euro emissions standards have been in place since 1990.

The Aim

Drastic reductions in lorry emissions. The Euro 4 emissions standard goes into effect beginning in October 2006. The Euro 5 standard will follow, taking effect in October 2009. These considerably tightened regulations call for new approaches in engine technology.

To begin with, measures within the engine must be combined with effective exhaust after treatment systems, as the Euro 4 thresholds represent a considerable tightening vis-à-vis the Euro 3 values.

The new standards call for a reduction of approx. 30% in nitrogen oxide emissions, along with approx. an 80% reduction in particle emissions.

Grieshaber Logistik fulfils these high standards by virtue of up-to-date equipment.

And through consistent use of bio diesel, with the aid of its own bio diesel filling stations.

In addition to this, our drivers receive routine training in consumption-optimising driving. This not only reduces diesel consumption but also cuts back on wear and tear on tyres and brakes.

Facility management

In the logistics industry, large-volume buildings dominate the landscape. The results of this are high heating and energy-consumption costs.

Grieshaber Logistik makes use of the latest furnace technology, reviewing alternative forms of energy, improving the efficiency of equipment in use and meeting the requirements of the Energy-Saving Ordinance [EnergieEinsparVerordnung (EnEV)].
