According to BBM Logística, the goal is to minimize the socio-environmental impacts that traditional cars generate

BBM Logística added two new electric car models to its current fleet. According to the logistics company, this initiative is within the set of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) actions, which considered in its premises the emission of CO2 gases that can reach the sum of 61 tons every 36 thousand liters of fuel used.

The goal that led to the adoption of these actions is to minimize the socio-environmental impacts that traditional cars generate and, for this, the company intends to carry out actions such as zeroing carbon emissions and atmospheric pollutants while electric vehicles are working, in addition to reducing noise. Added to this, another positive consequence is that the production and operational chain of these electric cars causes a smaller volume of waste, as it has less need to use fluid oils.

Electric cars used by BBM Logística

According to the logistics company, the electric vehicles were acquired through a partnership with the automaker JAC Motors, which is supplying the Van BYD and T3 e-delivery models, with a range of 200KM; and the iEV1200T truck. BBM informed that the two cars are 100% electric and are included in the project whose goal is to make effective the distribution of Henkel's products to the city of Campinas, as well as to Greater São Paulo.

The expectation is that this new form of transport will cover a total of 4 kilometers a month and the energy that will charge these electric cars will be produced by means of solar panels that will be installed at the customer's plant.

“The BBM Group is committed to promoting sustainable development throughout the chain. We believe that it is necessary to think of new ways to align results with sustainability, and using cleaner energy sources is essential for us to continue growing throughout Brazil and Mercosur. In this way, we will build a better world for future generations through partnerships with our customers.” – André Prado, CEO of BBM Logística.

According to BBM Logística, electric vehicles are of great importance for deliveries on the night shift and for operations that do not cause noise, in addition to not needing to participate in rotation in large cities. The logistics company also stated that the technology of the vans and trucks is innovative, and brings several interactions with the driver who is working with the distribution service.

“We want to present solutions to our customers in reducing carbon throughout the logistics chain. Only then will we be protagonists in the construction of a better world”, emphasizes Prado.
