Samskip aims for sustainability
Currently Don Trucking has 60 LNG – powered trucks in its fleet. And all of them are in use every day. Don Trucking was the first company in Poland to receive 20 LNG – powered tractors back in 2018. This year, they have added additional 40. “The infrastructure has changed. We have a long way to go but it has improved significantly. Even with current fuel prices we firmly believe in LNG as the next generation fuel for long haul road transport. We have more LNG refueling stations in Europe and companies are not scared to invest in LNG trucks anymore. On the contrary, society’s environmental awareness is becoming higher. We expect big changes within the industry in 2022” says Dariusz Hejnicki, board member of Don Trucking.
“Don Trucking’s ecological approach and strategy is highly praised and suits within SAMSKIP environmental goals,” Says Frédéric Leca, Chief Operating Officer at Samskip. “It works both ways – for us as a company and for our clients – as their own carbon footprint is getting reduced at the same time as ours. It is vital to bring awareness to the members of the society and responsibly consider the choices of your suppliers and contractors.”
