Kuehne+Nagel offers carbon insetting to push fleet electrification

Kuehne+Nagel announced the launch of its Book & Claim insetting solution for electric vehicles, making Kuehne+Nagel the first logistics service provider to launch the solution, which previously was limited to low-emission fuels. “Implementing decarbonisation solutions and helping customers achieve their sustainability goals is a key component of Kuehne+Nagel’s Roadmap 2026 Living ESG cornerstone,” says an official release. Kuehne+Nagel launched an insetting solution for hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) last October, which is now followed by electric vehicles, the release added. “The first-of-its-kind solution has been tested and validated in cooperation with leading external stakeholders.” Hansjörg Rodi, Member of Management Board responsible for road logistics, Kuehne+Nagel says: “We see battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) as the future to reduce emissions in road freight. Carbon insetting supports the scale-up of low-emission solutions like BEVs and helps to reduce the premium that customers pay for these solutions, thereby supporting the decarbonisation of road transport.”
