Götene Kyltransporter takes its responsibility with gusto. Recently, a unique biogas-powered refrigerator and freezer truck was purchased and an environmentally friendly laundry room has just been built. - We simply have a great interest in sustainable development, says Ulf Johansson, CEO of the company. At Götene Kyltransporter, they quickly became aware that much can be done for the environment in the haulage industry. Therefore, the company's environmental work takes place on a broad front. The large vehicle fleet of 65 crews consists of 6 long trailers that significantly reduce fuel consumption and give the driver a more favorable working environment. The company recently invested in a new unique biogas-powered Volvo that is powered by liquid biomethane and where the load is also cooled with the help of environmentally friendly biogas. We are the first in the industry with this gas-powered car and in 2011 we will buy more of this model. For us, this environmentally friendly investment feels completely natural, says Ulf Johansson. Götene Kyltransporter has long rewarded the drivers who keep energy consumption low to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Today, cars are also washed in an environmentally friendly way. The new fully automatic laundry room has a closed system with treatment plants which means that the same water is reused all the time. Between eight and ten of the company's cars are washed daily, but outsiders can also have the opportunity to rent the laundry. The entire company's facility in Götene is powered by electricity from wind and hydropower and the properties are heated with district heating. First food car with liquid biogas. The car's engine controls the cooling unit with liquid biogas. Secure and environmentally friendly deliveries with mobile devices With mobile devices in the cars, deliveries become both more efficient and more environmentally friendly. The cars' vehicle computers record data such as speed, fuel consumption and idling. With this knowledge, you can ensure that the drivers drive fuel-efficiently and environmentally friendly. Via GPS, the system also keeps track of the cars' exact position, which makes it easier for the transport management to rearrange routes and see who is best suited for a mission. This leads to a safer ride as the use of mobile phones is reduced. The mobile devices also simplify order handling and post-processing as all data is saved directly in the computer.
