Published 8 November 2017

Large sections of the German business community want ambitious climate protection in the coalition agreement

A broad alliance of more than 50 large and medium-sized companies and business associations is calling on the parties in the exploratory talks to make climate protection the central task of the future German government.

Subscribers to the declaration include major companies active in Germany, larger SMEs and associations from a wide range of sectors. They include 6 DAX 30 companies and well-known names such as Aldi Süd, Deutsche Börse, Deutsche Telekom, Hochtief, Nestlé, SAP and many more. Energy-intensive industrial companies and coal-fired power plant operators are also supporting the appeal, including Siemens, EnBW, E.ON and Papier- und Kartonfabrik Varel. Many of the subscribing companies are not direct winners of decarbonisation or the energy transition. However, the subscribers promise to play their part in climate protection. Coordinators of the declaration are the business associations Stiftung 2° and B.A.U.M. as well as the development and environmental organisation Germanwatch.

Osnabrück/Bonn, 30.03.2017: Deutsche Post today put the 1,000th e-bike of its StreetScooter subsidiary into operation in Osnabrück. The delivery bikes, which are electrically assisted up to 25 km/h, have a payload of up to 50 kg and make the work of letter carriers in urban areas much easier. As with the e-cars ("StreetScooter Work"), Deutsche Post delivery staff were involved in the development. The result is an e-bike that has considerable advantages over conventional electric bicycles in terms of ergonomics, efficiency, load distribution and safety standards. For example, instead of three letter containers, four now fit on the bike. The number of e-bikes is to be further increased in the coming years. In addition, Deutsche Post is testing the "E-Trike" from the StreetScooter company with a payload of up to 90 kg in some delivery districts, also for use in letter delivery.

"We are very serious about our climate protection offensive and are very passionate about it," says Jürgen Gerdes, Member of the Board of Management responsible for Deutsche Post DHL Group. "And in addition to the benefits for the environment, there are additional benefits for our employees, whom we equip with the most modern work tools."

Deutsche Post already operates the largest electric fleet in Germany with around 2,500 StreetScooter Work electric vehicles and a total of around 10,500 pedelecs (e-bikes and e-trikes). In the medium term, the Group intends to replace its entire delivery fleet with electric vehicles.

The e-mobility offensive is part of the ambitious environmental programme GoGreenThe Deutsche Post DHL Group aims to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net zero by 2050. One of the four sub-goals on the way to achieving this is to improve people's quality of life at the local level by 2025 through clean transport solutions.

To this end, the Group wants to switch 70 per cent of its own collection and delivery to clean solutions, for example by bicycle or electric vehicles.
