Social awareness of climate protection and sustainability has been growing rapidly, and not just since the "Fridays for Future" demonstrations and the current energy crisis. "In fact, we are increasingly being asked by our customers about our sustainability efforts. I am therefore all the more pleased that we can answer these questions with a clear conscience," confirms Frank Müller, Senior Vice President STILL Brand Management.

But this awareness did not just emerge at STILL when the topic was the subject of lively discussion from all sides. "Rather, it is an integral part of our corporate DNA," continues Frank Müller, "which is why we are not resting on our laurels. Our goal is: zero emissions across the entire supply chain." The intralogistics provider already installed charging stations for electric vehicles on the premises of its Hamburg headquarters in the middle of last year.

Pilot project accelerates sustainability strategy

STILL is taking the next step in its sustainability strategy with the introduction of the first electrically powered service vehicles. The pilot project will initially run for one year to collect data on how these alternative drives can be reconciled with STILL's high-quality and demanding service concept.
service concept. Stefan Sanny: "During this time, we will gain experience and information, which we will then evaluate very precisely. This will provide us with answers to many of our questions, for example: How does our service perform in rural areas with less than ideal charging infrastructure? What ranges can we achieve with the charged vehicles? How do different weather conditions affect the range of the e-vehicles?"

STILL will then use this experience to decide how to further expand its electrified service fleet in the future. Frank Müller: "However, we will do everything in our power to ensure that we manage the balancing act between our sustainability goals and our high service standards. After all, we are committed to our customers
and also to our environment."
