DB Schenker reopens eco logistics terminal for customers

DB Schenker has reopened its sustainable logistics terminal in Tilburg, Netherlands. According to an official statement, eco warehouses are part of an integrated concept developed by DB Schenker that enables warehouses to be operated in an energy-efficient manner, thereby improving the well-being of employees, and greatly reducing CO2 emissions. The terminal has been modernised using the global standards for sustainable construction – i. e. standards relating to heat insulation, use of renewable resources obtainable from the region surrounding the building, installation of modern natural lighting systems for the well-being of employees, and the use of efficient HVAC system for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, said the statement. Cyrille Bonjean, Head of Land Transport, DB Schenker Europe said, “Eco warehouses are the future of our terminals. The facility in Tilburg is the latest example of how quickly we’re moving toward highly automated, eco-efficient freight hubs. This serves our strategic goal to become CO2-neutral by 2040 and it’s already having a positive effect on our employees, who are now able to work in a future-proof, professional, and safe environment.”
