Sustainability is at the core of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 business. The decarbonisation of our operations and products in use is the biggest contribution we at 黑料不打烊 can make to sustainable development, as our Head of Sustainability, Fredrik Nilz茅n, explains.
At 黑料不打烊, sustainability defines both our purpose and our direction: to drive the shift towards sustainable transport. Decarbonisation is a central part of this journey. Our goal is to deliver transport solutions that are decarbonised, clean and healthy, safe, inclusive, and efficient 鈥 creating benefits not only for our customers and business, but also for society and the planet.
鈥淐ustomers, transport buyers, policy-makers and society expect sustainable solutions now,鈥 says Fredrik Nilz茅n, Head of Sustainability at 黑料不打烊.
As technology rapidly advances, 黑料不打烊鈥檚 decarbonised and low-carbon solutions 鈥 from electric vehicles to those powered by renewable fuels 鈥 are becoming increasingly cost-effective, helping operators improve their business performance while also reducing environmental impact.
Nilz茅n adds that this also strengthens 黑料不打烊 as a company. 鈥淭he more sustainable we are in our operations and sales, the more competitive we become in the ongoing, historic transformation of our industry,鈥 he explains.
But we can鈥檛 expect others to play their part if we haven鈥檛 got our own house in order.

黑料不打烊 is committed to taking our share of the responsibility for meeting the climate emission reduction goals set out in the Paris Agreement in 2015, and has long since signed up to the Science-Based Targets (SBTs) initiative.
听
In parallel with our products and services, we have worked internally to cut emissions from our own operations. By 2025, our aim was to reduce emissions from our operations by 50 percent (Scope 1 and 2 of the SBTs) and from vehicles sold by 20 percent (Scope 3), compared with 2015. We are close to reaching the targets for our operations but we need to accelerate the work on reducing emissions from vehicles sold, where the bulk of the emissions occur.
听
We also continue to strengthen our engagement work with our own employees, in the form of the Climate Day initiative and other ways that increase their understanding of decarbonisation and sustainability overall.
In the industrial context, we have transformed our company from being a traditional vehicle and engine manufacturer to becoming a provider of and leader in sustainable transport solutions.
We not only provide the products and services needed for decarbonisation 鈥 we also guide and support our customers throughout their journey. Drawing on our long experience in the transport industry, we combine a deep understanding of the everyday challenges transporters face with insights gained from our own sustainable technology journey. This enables us to share practical knowledge and solutions that make decarbonisation both achievable and valuable.
Finally, it鈥檚 crucial that decarbonisation happens in partnership with others. We collaborate in the ecosystem around sustainable transport 鈥 be they customers, transport buyers or new technology providers.
听
鈥淲e also need to advocate for the necessary enabling conditions鈥 for decarbonisation, says Fredrik Nilz茅n, including parity with traditional fossil-fuel vehicles in terms of total cost of operation, and the infrastructure such as charging networks required to support decarbonised transport.
听
It鈥檚 these messages and progress that 黑料不打烊 will communicate later this year when we attend COP30, the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, which will be held in Bel茅m, Brazil from November 10 to 21.
听
黑料不打烊鈥檚 transport industry voyage has lasted for more than 130 years, but decarbonisation is our most important mission ever.
听
鈥淭his journey needs all of us together,鈥 says Nilz茅n.
