Frode Laursen’s most significant climate impact is without comparison our transport. Therefore, we also have a solid focus on how we can reduce our emission of CO2 per tonne-kilometres
At Frode Laursen, we are transporting an increasing share of our customers’ goods using alternative fuels such as HVO, biogas, and electricity.
We have succeeded in increasing the share of our own transports powered by alternative fuels year after year. In 2024, every third truck – or 39% – in our fleet ran on alternative fuels.
New equipment yields CO2 reductions
In 2024, the introduction of longer road trains and trailers opened up new possibilities for reducing CO2e
emissions per pallet.These long road trains, known as EMS2s, make it possible to transport twice as many pallets using the
same tractor unit, thereby achieving a CO2e reduction of 46%.
While EMS2s are ideal for long-distance transport, the extra long trailers present opportunities for CO2 reductions on distribution routes. Upgrading from 13.6-metre trailers to 14.9-metre trailers increases capacity by three additional pallets and reduces CO2 emissions by 8%. Even though this reduction is not as signicant as that provided by EMS2s, the longer trailers can be used on a broader range of routes, resulting in a wider overall impact.
In 2024, we invested heavily in both EMS2s and 14.9-metre trailers, and we expect both solutions to play a key role in signicantly reducing our carbon
footprint going forward.
