DHL partners with Schneider Electric to launch new shipping model using SAF

In Germany, DHL Global Forwarding partnered with Schneider Electric to design and launch a multi-modal shipping model, using sustainable aviation fuels to help improve the agility and reduce the environmental impact of its supply chain. Together with Schneider Electric, DHL Global Forwarding has successfully deployed two innovative multi-modal shipping bridges – between Singapore and North America and between India and North America – to reduce Scope 3 carbon emissions from air freight. In total, Schneider Electric plans to design and execute eight global multi-modal bridges with its logistics partners that can be deployed on demand. Schneider Electric estimates that these bridges, by using a combination of air and sea transport, will reduce the carbon emissions of these regional shipment lanes by up to 40% compared to normal air fulfillment. “Through our GoGreen Plus service, we provide our customers with sustainable transport solutions, including SAF. Our partnership with Schneider Electric is instrumental in driving positive change and making sustainable logistics a reality,” said Thomas George, Chief Commercial Officer, DHL Global Forwarding.
