Acting sustainably is essential. As a logistics and transportation company, we are constantly looking for new ways to operate even more sustainably and with lower emissions. This is an integral part of our business activities and is reflected in our entire portfolio.
We measureCO2 emissions for each of our transports. In order to compensate for this, we offer the possibility of neutralizing theCO2 emissions per transport through the additional purchase of tree certificates. This is because trees can store an average of 22 kgof CO2 per year. So if one or more trees are planted, theCO2 emitted is neutralized again.
HVO diesel is a synthetic fuel that is produced from waste and residual materials such as vegetable oil, animal fat or used cooking oil. It is fully compatible with modern Euro 6 engines and can be installed in your truck without any modifications.
We currently have several Volvo FH Electric vehicles in our fleet. The new generation of e-trucks from Mercedes-Benz, which will be in use from the end of 2024, will impress above all with a range of 500 kilometers and a battery capacity of up to 600 kilowatt hours as well as a continuous output of 400 kW, which corresponds to 544 hp.
DENKINGER sets up its sites at sidings or builds them itself. This achieves greater effects in the area of life cycle assessment.
At our Rottenacker site, we recently built such a transshipment hall, into which trains can be loaded and unloaded. Onward transportation takes place by electric truck.
Our logistics locations have halls that are built from regional timber.
The roof surfaces of our halls are covered with PV systems* for 100% of the usable area.
We also collect and use rainwater to irrigate our trees.
We rely on the latest global standards – ISO 14083:2023 and GLEC – to precisely measure theCO2 emissions of each transport.
We also have analysis tools developed in-house that enable us to calculate and optimize the exact ecological footprint of each transport.

At DENKINGER, we are responding proactively to the growing need for environmentally friendly transportation solutions. Our fleet of electric trucks not only stands for efficient and reliable transportation, but also for significant contributions to environmental protection and the promotion of emission-free mobility.
Electromobility and the use of alternative drive systems are central to the energy transition in the transportation sector, especially in the area of long-distance mobility, in order to significantly reduce carbon emissions.

In order to make our transportsCO2-neutral, we cooperate with a local organization that runs its own forest tree nursery and takes care of the preservation and reforestation of forest areas in Germany. With every purchase, a certificate is issued showing the number of trees planted and theCO2 saved. The certificates are also ISO-certified by TÜV Süd. If desired, the GPS position of the planted trees can also be transmitted, ensuring transparency of the planting. The certificate can also be issued directly to our customers on request and used for advertising purposes.
How can I as a customer make my transportationCO2 neutral?
Just get in touch with us! Together we can find the right solution and develop a sustainable transportation concept.
HVO diesel, also known as hydrogenated vegetable oil, is an advanced, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel. This sustainable biofuel is obtained from waste materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats and used cooking oil and converted into high-quality diesel, which not only reduces waste but also protects the environment.
Compared to conventional diesel, HVO diesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%, making it a key element for a cleaner future. It also releases significantly fewer nitrogen oxides and particles, which improves air quality.
HVO diesel is not only environmentally friendly, but also economically advantageous, as it can be integrated into existing diesel infrastructures without expensive modifications and is fully compatible with modern Euro 6 engines. Ideal for companies that want to combine sustainability with cost efficiency.
DENKINGER is a member of the “H2-WANDEL” project in the Alb-Donau district. This project is part of the EU funding program “HYDROGEN VALLEY”, which aims to establish 100 large-scale Hydrogen Valleys worldwide by 2030.
What are Hydrogen Valleys?
This is a concept based on the idea of a sustainable hydrogen economy. Similar to a traditional industrial area, Hydrogen Valley is a geographic area that is not only focused on traditional industries, but on a new era of clean energy. It is a cluster of companies, research institutions and infrastructure that aims to establish hydrogen as a central energy source.
In Hydrogen Valley, innovative technologies are being developed and applied to produce, store, transport and use hydrogen in an environmentally friendly way. This includes the use of renewable energy sources such as sun and wind to produce green hydrogen that causes no CO2 emissions.
The vision of Hydrogen Valley is to create an emission-free energy supply and thus make an important contribution to climate protection.

DENKINGER focuses on sustainability and regionality in the construction of new logistics locations. Below we present the environmentally friendly measures and technologies that are used in site design.
Wooden halls from regional forests
Our new logistics locations are built with halls made of wood from regional forests. This reduces theCO2 footprint and supports the local economy at the same time.
Denkinger relies on cold halls that do not require any additional heating energy. This minimizes energy consumption and protects the environment.
Natural daylight through PV modules
The side facades of our halls are partially replaced by PV modules. This not only creates additional space for generating electricity, but also pleasantly subdued daylight in the interior.
Rail sidings for efficient transportation
DENKINGER builds the sites at rail sidings or constructs them itself in order to achieve even greater effects in the area of eco-balance.
Our newest site in Rottenacker meets all the environmental requirements we set ourselves. In addition to the wooden hall with PV roof and PV wall system, Rottenacker has a track for efficient goods transportation and water storage for watering our trees.
