MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS
This partnership is a concrete example of commitment to the energy transition:
- Reduction of CO2 emissions : a reduction of 621 tonnes per year, the equivalent of 3,105 trees planted.
- Acceleration of the energy transition of artificialized areas despite the technical challenges of design.
- Optimization of land resources : the exploitation of available land while maintaining the storage activities of semi-trailers.
- Sustainability : this project is part of a long-term vision with a 30-year PPA contract.
AN EXAMPLE OF MANAGING LOGISTICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Built in 6 phases to minimise the impact on Fruehauf's daily activity, this project illustrates an innovative management of logistical and environmental constraints. Each phase of construction, representing a capacity of 2 MWp, was completed within 3 months. In order to optimize the companies' schedule and accelerate the implementation, an annex plot of land was rented by GreenYellow, allowing work to be carried out in two phases in parallel, thus generating a reduction of 3 months. In addition, GreenYellow has shown its ability to adapt to site requirements such as constraints related to the water law, as the project is located in a drinking water catchment area for the Auxerre agglomeration.
This project represents an important step forward in the solarization of heavy transport infrastructure and an example of the integration of sustainable and efficient solutions in an industrial environment.
"This project marks a key step in our sustainable development approach. It reflects the perfect combination of innovation and environmental responsibility, and we are proud to collaborate with a partner such as GreenYellow. This project is fully in line with Fruehauf's CSR strategy, which aims to combine economic performance, reduction of our carbon footprint and societal commitment," says Philippe LE POCHAT, Sales & Marketing Director at Fruehauf.
For its part, Romain BUTTE, General Manager at GreenYellow France emphasizes: "Our mission is to support corporates such as Fruehauf in their energy transition, combining economic performance and positive ecological impact. This emblematic project in Auxerre is positioned as a reference in the solarization of truck parks dedicated to heavy transport."
PROMISING PROSPECTS LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY
The partnership could also pave the way for further collaborations, both locally and internationally, thanks to Fruehauf's membership in the Wielton Group, which is present in five countries. GreenYellow and Fruehauf are already planning to roll out similar solutions at other locations and encourage local companies to engage in sustainable energy projects.
