Elexon aims to reduce emissions in the Babor fleet by 80 percent
The specialist for electric charging infrastructure in the logistics sector, Elexon, has now launched a flagship project aimed at helping the Aachen cosmetics manufacturer Babor Beauty Group achieve even more sustainability in their fleet and production. The goal is to achieve "real" CO2 reduction instead of the previous CO2 compensation, which makes the cosmetics company climate neutral. This includes a precisely planned and intelligently linked charging infrastructure, including PV systems and efficient energy and load management. Additionally, the fleet emissions at the group’s headquarters are to be reduced by at least 80 percent.
Photovoltaics for Vehicles and Production
The core element is large-scale photovoltaic systems designed for the roofs of operational buildings and carports, which are intended to provide eco-electricity for vehicles and production. The charging stations in the company parking lots will supply electric employee vehicles, as well as pool, service, and supplier vehicles, with green electricity. Furthermore, an intelligent energy and load management system will take over the control of the electrical charging infrastructure and PV systems.
Many Emissions from Mobility - Alternative Company Bike Promoted
The joint venture founded in 2019 by SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA), AixControl GmbH, and aixACCT charging solutions GmbH aims to contribute to reducing 50 percent of the total CO2 emissions of the cosmetics group by 2025. A large portion of these emissions arises from the commuting of employees. Various mobility modules are intended to encourage employees to consider alternatives to combustion engines, according to the provider. In the area of company bike leasing, the cosmetics company supports this with up to 100 percent of the monthly leasing costs, including insurance and maintenance. Carpooling and public transportation users are also comprehensively supported, as advertised.
Expansion of Charging Infrastructure Planned
For employees at the headquarters, partners, suppliers, and the company's own fleet, the existing charging infrastructure is to be significantly expanded in the first half of 2022. Years ago, the group was the first company in the Aachen region to install electric charging stations for company electric cars and employee electric vehicles. Currently, the company is converting its entire fleet to electric cars and increasingly including its suppliers and partners in this transition.
