Doneck Network banks on climate-protecting vehicle fleet

Within the framework of its sustainability strategy, the Doneck Network has once again invested in the climate-friendly vehicle fleet this year. 75% of the company's own transport fleet now drives with the latest engine technology conforming to the Euro 6 standard. This reduces the use of fuel by 20% and also lowers CO2 emissions.

In addition, the vehicles are equipped with modern telematics systems that help with the optimisation of route planning and individual driving behaviour, including the saving of resources. Employees are specially trained and sensitised for this. To that extent it is no coincidence that a Doneck Network driver has been crowned "German Champion of the Federal Traveltainer League" twice in a row by telematics operators on account of his outstanding individual driving behaviour, based on comparison data with other drivers.

Doneck Network has also taken the first step towards e-mobility for passenger transport, too. The company has invested in its first fully electrically operated vehicle, with which many short-haul routes and local traffic can be covered electrically. Since Doneck Euroflex purchases exclusively CO2-neutral electricity, every kilometre driven with the new e-mobile is free from CO2 emissions.

"Striving for ever greater sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate policy", says Arndt Breitbach, managing partner of the Doneck Network. "We are currently working on further important projects for the saving of resources, in particular in the areas of energy and waste."

Doneck Euroflex has already had its management system certified to EN ISO 14001 by the TÜV Saarland on a regular basis since 2010 and its sustainability strategy is based on ISO 26000.
