The partnership between VDL TTI and Green Energy enables Norway’s green transition in heavy transport
TTI (Truck and Trailer Industry AS) has an impressive history that dates back to 1963, when the company was founded as a modest two-person operation in Oslo. Today, as part of the Dutch VDL group, TTI has become Norway’s largest supplier of spare parts for the heavy-duty transport sector. This positions VDL TTI as a crucial player in ensuring efficient and sustainable heavy transport in a long and complex country like Norway, where logistics present significant challenges.
Insights from the frontlines of Norway’s green transition
Bjorn Oyvind Stenersen, Managing Director of VDL TTI, shares insights on Norway’s green transition and explains why solar panel solutions are ideal for the heavy transport industry, which is facing increasing demands for sustainability, reporting, as well as rising diesel prices, CO2 taxes, and road fees.
Navigating Norway’s climate challenges
VDL TTI has a deep understanding of Norway’s climate goals and the current and upcoming regulations affecting heavy transport. They recognize that the green transition is unavoidable in the industry. As the demand for sustainable solutions grows, VDL TTI is open to new and environmentally friendly technologies that can make a significant difference for their customers in Norway’s fight against climate change.
“In an industry generally characterized by the love of the smell of diesel and roaring V8 engines, we are witnessing that drivers and companies within the sector realize the urgency of contributing to the green transformation. It is an incredible development, and we are happy to present these new possibilities to them,” says Øyvind Stenersen, Managing Director at VDL TTI.
A green solution for complex logistics
As Norway’s leading supplier of parts for heavy transport, it is essential for VDL TTI to help the Norwegian transport sector navigate the upcoming challenges and create a more sustainable future.
With the solar panel solution, VDL TTI offers customers a way to reduce vehicle fuel consumption by up to 7%, equivalent to a reduction of 2.5 tons of CO2 emissions per truck. Additionally, it can extend the vehicle’s battery life by up to 50%, contributing not only to more efficient operations but also reducing maintenance costs and enhancing overall sustainability. Important data from this solution, via an IoT platform, can be used for real-time monitoring and reporting for ESG compliance and Scope 3 emissions. With an economic payback period of 10 to 18 months and a CO2 payback period of under 12 months, this solution is highly attractive for companies looking to make a positive impact.
