Arla Foods and Danish Crown, in partnership with DFDS and DSV, are developing a climate-neutral food shipping corridor from Denmark to the UK. The ambitious initiative, set to be completed by 2030, involves the use of electric trucks and refrigerated trailers for dairy and meat transportation. It marks a significant step toward the goal of carbon-free food transport.
As the project progresses, the scope of the transport corridor will expand, and greener fuels will be tested and phased in. The ultimate goal is to achieve carbon-free food transport.
Bo Svane, Head of Logistics at Arla, explained that by collaborating, Arla and Danish Crown can achieve the historic transition of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and help pioneer the food industry's green revolution. Lars Feldskou, Group CPO of Danish Crown, added that, with the partnership for the corridor, their company could lead the charge for the green transition of the food industry.
Anders Michael Christensen, Vice President of DFDS Logistics, emphasized the need for collaboration across the value chain to solve the climate crisis. Morten Kjærgaard, Vice President of DSV Road, also stressed that a climate-neutral transport corridor requires not only commercial commitment but also the political will to expand the infrastructure.
According to him, the solution to the climate crisis cannot be achieved overnight. This is precisely why collaborating across sectors, like what they're doing now, is paramount. Joining forces in such a manner facilitates progress and provides momentum toward a sustainable future.
The first charging points for electric trucks have already been installed at various locations in Denmark. Yet, many more will be required going forward, with sufficient charging capacity to handle heavy-duty traffic, including at the harbor in Esbjerg and at Danish Crown and Arla locations in Denmark.
The project is underway, and with these major companies teaming up to promote and deliver on the green transition, we can all look forward to a more sustainable future.
