Driving the Future: Expanding Hegelmann’s Fleet with Eco-Friendly Biomethane Trucks for a Cleaner Tomorrow

Sustainability and environmental responsibility are not new concepts for Hegelmann companies – they are long-standing values. In our continuous effort to reduce our impact on nature, we are once again taking a significant step forward.

After receiving funding from the European Union’s NextGenerationEU under the „Naujos Kartos Lietuva” economic recovery and resilience plan and the 2021-2027 EU funds investment program project „Encouraging the replacement of polluting heavy-duty vehicles with biogas-powered vehicles (N3)”, Hegelmann Logistics plans to expand its fleet with 6 new biomethane-powered trucks. Our goal: to replace old, polluting heavy-duty vehicles with new, eco-friendly ones and help build a more sustainable future.

Why is this important?
-  Biomethane-powered N3 class trucks with Euro6 emission standards will significantly reduce GHG emissions. 
-  Sustainable solutions not only reduce our footprint but also allow us to meet customer expectations.

We drive sustainable economic growth and invest in solutions that create a cleaner future.

"Hegelmann" Lenkijoje stato pirmąjį sunkvežimių vairuotojų aptarnavimo centrą

2021 m. liepos 14 d. statybvietės teritorijoje buvo padėtas kertinis akmuo: Hegelmann” grupės partneriai Siegfriedas Hegelmannas ir Antonas Hegelmannas buvo tarp statybvietės dalyvių. (Nuotrauka: Hegelmann)
  • Šalies pietvakariuose, netoli sienos, statomas naujas centras
  • Logistikos įmonė reaguoja į mobilumo paketų reikalavimus
  • Išsami transporto priemonių ir vairuotojų aptarnavimo zona
Bruchsal/Żarska Wieś (Lenkija), 2021 m. liepos 16 d. – „Hegelmann Group” stato pirmąjį Lenkijoje sunkvežimių vairuotojų centrą. Unikalus šalyje projektas statomas Žarska Višo mieste (Żarska Wieś), Lenkijos pietvakariuose, netoli Vokietijos sienos, kiek mažesniame nei dvylikos hektarų plote. Be išsamių paslaugų ekspeditoriams ir transporto priemonėms, operacijų centre taip pat yra nuosavas viešbutis ir didelė automobilių stovėjimo aikštelė. Tai taip pat yra tarptautinės transporto ir logistikos bendrovės atsakas į padidėjusius reikalavimus, kylančius dėl naujų ES reglamentų ir mobilumo paketo. Iki šiol investicijos siekė apie 22 mln. eurų. Planuojama, kad kompleksas, kuris bus nuosekliai plečiamas, bus atidarytas 2022 m. viduryje. „Įrengdami šį centrą kuriame optimalų paslaugų kompleksą, pritaikytą mūsų vairuotojų ir darbuotojų poreikiams. Be to, juo padedame mažesnėms krovinių vežimo įmonėms įgyvendinti mobilumo paketo reikalavimus, – sako „Hegelmann Group” akcininkas Siegfriedas Hegelmannas. Hegelmann yra pirmoji transporto ir logistikos pramonės įmonė, Lenkijoje įkūrusi integruotą operacijų centrą. Teritorija suskirstyta į kelias zonas: Maždaug 7 000 kvadratinių metrų ploto sunkvežimių aptarnavimo zonoje yra dirbtuvės, diagnostikos punktas, dažymo cechas ir sunkvežimių plovykla. Be to, yra beveik 6 000 kv. m atsarginių dalių ir padangų sandėlis. „Visas paslaugų spektras leidžia mums optimizuoti remonto laiką ir užtikrinti efektyvią veiklą”, – sako Hegelmannas. Ateityje čia planuojama pastatyti dar vieną atskirą logistikos kompleksą ir sandėliavimo centrą. Be nuosavų biuro patalpų, didžiuliame sklype yra dar apie 60 biurų išorės įmonėms. Išplėstoje bazėje taip pat yra viešbutis su daugiau kaip 750 lovų. Iš Europos maršrutų grįžtantys vairuotojai čia galės praleisti privalomą poilsio laiką. Dar vienas „Hegelmann” centro privalumas – atskiros aukštos kokybės komercinės patalpos, skirtos verslo partneriams, ekspeditoriams ir kitoms transporto įmonėms. Aplink biurus, viešbutį, aptarnavimo zonas ir sandėlius esančiose erdviose automobilių stovėjimo aikštelėse taip pat telpa 220 sunkvežimių ir 450 lengvųjų automobilių. „Hegelmann Hub” Lenkijoje – tai transporto bazė, kuri daugeliu atžvilgių pritaikyta optimaliam darbui”, – sako Hegelmann. 2022 m. viduryje atidarytas „Hegelmann Hub” Lenkijoje taip pat turės teigiamą poveikį regionui. Tikimasi, kad pačiame operacijų centre dirbs apie 200 žmonių. Kitas darbo vietas sukurs mūsų verslo partneriai ir kitos įmonės, – sako Hegelmannas.

"Hegelmann Group" plečiasi į JAV

Tarptautinė transporto ir logistikos bendrovė pradeda veiklą Šiaurės Amerikoje kaip „Hegelmann USA”. Čikagoje įsikūrusi būstinė transporto ir logistikos paslaugas pradės teikti kitų metų sausio pradžioje. Per pirmuosius trejus metus į naujojo JAV padalinio plėtrą planuojama investuoti apie dešimt milijonų eurų. Ateityje „Hegelmann” planuoja atverti daugiau Šiaurės ir Centrinės Amerikos rinkų. Pirmasis tikslas bus Kanada. Planuojama tęsti augimą tarptautiniu mastu. Pirmaisiais metais JAV bus sukurta mažiausiai 15 naujų darbo vietų. Iš pradžių parką sudarys dešimt standartinių sunkvežimių. Vėliau parkas bus papildytas SGD arba elektra varomais sunkvežimiais. „Jau svarstėme galimybę iki 2019 m. pabaigos plėstis į JAV. Norime tapti pasauline organizacija, teikiančia paslaugas Europos, Šiaurės Amerikos ir Azijos žemynuose. Tikime, kad sunkiai ir sąžiningai dirbdami galime tapti sėkmingu, ambicingu ir nuolat augančiu žaidėju JAV ir Šiaurės Amerikos rinkose”, – aiškina Andrew Jasinskas, „Hegelmann Group” verslo plėtros vadovas, atsakingas už plėtrą JAV. „Hegelmann” jau turi ryšių su JAV rinka. „Mes siūlome logistikos paslaugas savo partneriams iš Amerikos Europoje, todėl jau dabar turime gerus ryšius”, – sako A. Jasinskas. Pirmaisiais plėtros metais „Hegelmann” planuoja investuoti apie du milijonus eurų į strateginę plėtrą ir veiklą. Antraisiais ir trečiaisiais metais planuojama investuoti dar aštuonis milijonus eurų. Be kita ko, planuojama įsigyti „sausakrūvių” priekabų, šiluminių priekabų, platformų, silosinių ir autovežių priekabų. „Norime labai greitai JAV pasiūlyti tokį patį paslaugų asortimentą kaip ir Europoje. Esame pasaulinė ir galinga įmonė”, – apibendrina A. Jasinskas. Apsilankykite mūsų puslapyje JAV Visit our US page
