Significant CO2 emission reductions for first quarter

Kaj Madsen Fjelstrup A/S proudly announces a significant reduction in CO2 emissions for the first quarter of 2024.

This achievement underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability! For a long period of time Kaj Madsen Fjelstrup A/S has implemented a series of innovative strategies aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. In collaboration with supplier of BIO-LNG our large fleet of LNG vehicles has reduced more than 421 tons of CO2 eq in the first quarter of 2024 compared to diesel trucks. We will continue to strive for even greater reductions in the future by offering more solution with less carbon footprint.

By focusing on creating valuable solutions for our costumers, we aim to be the best in class for refrigerated transport across Europe. We do so through:

• Real-time tracking and monitoring: State of the art GPS and IoT sensors provide real-time visibility into the location and condition of the shipment.
• Dynamic routing optimization: Intelligent algorithms analyze traffic patterns and other variables to determine the most efficient routs, minimizing delays and reducing fuel consumption.
• Sustainability focus: Optimizing transport routes and investing in latest technologies, the solution contributes to our aim for significant reductions in CO2 emissions and overall environmental impact.

IFS Logistics completed

It is with great pleasure that we can announce our IFS Logistics audit has been completed. Our IFS Logistics standard version 2.3 has been found to higher level.

Since 2015 have we each year renewed the high and comprehensive IFS logistics standard, not because it is easy, but because it is necessary and creates security for our quality in food transportation. We celebrate and thank our staff for the efforts in generating high quality and safe food transportations.

Germany

Far-reaching change is coming, and it affects transport.

With effect from 1 December, a majority in the German parliament, the Bundestag, has voted in favour of a proposal to introduce an Co2 tax for heavy vehicles. The change is based on a new emissions policy for the trucks, the increase is calculated based on the vehicle's Co2 emission class.

Cost will be depending on the kilometers driven on the Toll Roads in Germany and will mean an increase of total costs 83% compared to the current road tax. We have done everything possible to reduce this cost, by purchasing trucks with the latest standard of engines and other measures to minimize the Co2 emissions for our trucks. Despite our efforts, the cost per km driven in Germany for the Co2 tax, will be € 0.158 per driven km from 1. December 2023.

Change in freight costs from 1. December 2023 will only cover the Co2 tax. We regret these actions on the German side but hope for your understanding that these costs are beyond our control.

Please contact our sales team if you want to know more.

New trucks

We welcome our new workhorses in our class for excellent transport solutions.

We are thrilled to announce that Mercedes Benz is presence in our fleet with the latest version of the Euro 6 engine standard and with an extended safety package have we taken into consideration both the environment and the safety of the driver.

The increasing focus of helping businesses logistics operations and enhance customers experiences within refrigerated logistics is what motivate our staff and propelling our desire to grow.

Exhibition season

Every year we plan to visit the most important Food fairs in Europe, to meet old clients and stay in touch with people and the understanding of their business, and at the same time follow the markets and meet new potential clients.

This year we have with great success and interest from many new Clients already had many good and important meetings at the Seafood Expo in Barcelona, Tutto Food fair in Milano, and fruitlogistica Berlin.

New office in Copenhagen

To meet the constant demands of our customers to be best in class and maintain our advantages and opportunities to recruit our staff throughout Denmark, we have now also recently opened an office in Copenhagen.

We now have in our company a total of 4 branches on carefully chosen locations in Europe.

Sometimes size and facts matter...

The last of our purchases of New 235 DAF XG Trucks are being delivered just in these months.

- market's best working conditions to our drivers with a 33 cm larger cabin give amazing space for working and resting but more than that, they are also a huge win for the environment.

By following our investment strategy which must be environmentally responsible have we fund a match in the new series form DAF Trucks.

These vehicles deliver on both being cost-effective and at the same time not surprisingly being the driver's favorite cabin.

When you see some of the 235 trucks on the roads, you will be happy to know that they reduce carbon emission by more than a crazy 2650 tons of CO2 per year compared to other models.

Ride with us for the future.
