As an innovative logistics company, we are aware of our special role and responsibility for future generations. As a pioneer among medium-sized forwarding and logistics companies, we continue to focus on investments to realise resource-saving concepts and consider climate-neutral options along the entire value chain. Environmental protection and competitiveness are not mutually exclusive. With this strategic orientation, NTS emphasises that technological advances for efficient climate protection and resource conservation are in harmony with corporate goals. This is a matter of course for NTS and determines the orientation of our company and actions with our employees, customers and business partners.
Another green milestone: the logistics centre in Mainhausen
The construction of the new logistics centre in Mainhausen combines all aspects of modern and sustainable building technology. We rely on self-sufficient energy generation using a solar system and heat pump and produce the energy required and consumed in the logistics centre directly on site. Continuously embedded in holistic concepts and planned for the future. We rely on various harmonised instruments to meet our high demands on the energy efficiency and ecology of the building system. For example, the solar system currently produces up to 300 kilowatt hours (an expansion of 50 % is technically feasible), of which up to 60 kilowatts can be stored in our own buffer tank. A decisive point for climate efficiency is the handling of heating and air conditioning. Our logistics centre uses a sophisticated combination of a reversible air-to-water heat pump with a gas condensing boiler to support the heat pump at peak times. In addition, intelligent technologies and clever solutions are used to reduce energy requirements during the operating phase. Building measures such as skylight domes for natural light were also taken into account, as was the extensive use of LED technology and motion sensors for lighting. We have also found a sustainable way to irrigate the green spaces using deep wells. We also support and promote the green mobility of our employees. The new charging stations for cars and e-bikes are very popular and offer fast, convenient charging with green electricity at the Mainhausen logistics centre.
