<strong>Daimler</strong> 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008<br />

<strong>Daimler</strong> Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Environmental protection, innovation, and safety / Logistics<br />

Logistics<br />

Vehicles that transport deliveries to and from production plants also have an environmental impact. <strong>Daimler</strong>’s<br />

goal in this area is to minimize the emissions they produce <strong>by</strong> ensuring the most efficient logistics systems<br />

possible – and the inclusion of railroad and ship transport. In 2007, approximately 4.4 million tons of<br />

commodities destined for production in <strong>Daimler</strong>’s German car and commercial vehicle plants, and at the Group’s<br />

facility in Vitoria, Spain, were transported <strong>by</strong> trucks over a total of 151 million kilometers (not counting door-todoor<br />

deliveries). Based on the current handbook on emission factors for road traffic (HBEFA 2.1), this translates<br />

into approximately 133,000 tons of CO 2 emitted into the atmosphere, which corresponds to around five percent<br />

of the total CO 2 emissions generated through production activities at all plants receiving such deliveries.
