Galliker and Lindt & Sprüngli focus on electromobility

Lindt & Sprüngli and Galliker have been working together for almost two decades, with one particular route standing out: since 2005, Galliker has been responsible for transportation between the production site in Kilchberg and the warehouse in Altendorf. With up to 10 trips per day, packaging materials are transported in one direction and finished goods in the other - always maintaining the required temperature conditions for the sensitive chocolate products.

While the transport routes and processes have proven themselves over the years and achieved a high level of efficiency, the discussion about the use of diesel trucks has become increasingly intense, as Reto Barrer, Sales Manager at Galliker, explains: "The short distance between the warehouse and production is ideal for the use of electrically powered transport vehicles. We were able to successfully implement this project in January 2023."

Just over a year ago, the first electric truck was put into operation on behalf of Lindt & Sprüngli (Schweiz) AG. In order to maximize the efficiency of the transport processes with the eTruck, a fast charging station was installed in Altendorf shortly afterwards - which means that all Lindt & Sprüngli's journeys between Kilchberg and Altendorf are now completely CO2-neutral.

Lindt & Sprüngli is thus not only making a contribution to a more sustainable transport future as a valued member of the "Green Logistics by Galliker" association, but is also actively committed to CO2 savings through the use of electric vehicles and the provision of appropriate charging infrastructure. Incidentally, the electric journeys between production and the warehouse can already save 25,000 kg of CO2 per year.
