DHL Supply Chain Thailand, a global leader in logistics, has partnered with Green Spot, the leading soy milk manufacturer in Thailand, to introduce an electric 18-wheeler, marking a significant step towards both companies’ commitment to a greener and more sustainable future. This fully electric vehicle can travel up to 350km on a single charge. The vehicle takes approximately two hours to charge and is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 60 tons annually.
Steve Walker, CEO of DHL Supply Chain Thailand Cluster, stated, “We are steadfastly progressing towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, emphasizing clean and sustainable operations at every turn. Our partnership with Green Spot reflects our shared values, notably our unwavering commitment to sustainable practices. Introducing our electric truck is a tangible testament to this continual dedication. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, we aim to maximize cost efficiency through effective route optimization, ensure safe deliveries, and offer full visibility throughout our supply chain.”
This electric vehicle represents a transformative leap in transporting Green Spot products, ensuring eco-friendly internal and external movements. The routes include transferring raw materials from the bottle factory to the Green Spot Factory in Nong Kae and Rangsit and transporting the products from both factories to the Khlong Luang Warehouse. From there, products will reach consumers through modern trade channels, including Big C, Lotus’s, and 7-11.
Chote Sophonpanich, Chairman of the Executive Board of Green Spot, emphasized, “The principles of quality, food safety, and nourishment have always guided our journey. By introducing the electric vehicle for transporting our beverages, we embark on a new chapter that echoes our devotion to responsible practices. This partnership with DHL Supply Chain Thailand reiterates our dedication to building cleaner and greener logistics operations. We’re committed to continuously exploring and implementing eco-friendly solutions across our entire supply chain.”
DHL’s Connected Control Tower will oversee the management of the vehicle, using integrated advanced technologies such as the Paragon Route Optimization System, Transport Management System, Telematics, and DHL’s MySupplyChain digital platform.
