Right on schedule despite the pandemic: Expressdienst starts operating a new transhipment centre in Hesse today
Conveniently located in the Potsdamer Platz industrial estate in Driedorf, Hesse
Electric mobility included: charging points in staff car parks, power points at all loading and unloading gates
trans-o-flex continues to expand its network: Expressdienst, which specialises in the carriage of pharmaceuticals and sensitive goods, today started operating another logistics centre in Driedorf, Hesse. "The new site, which we can commence operations today as planned despite the coronavirus pandemic, will further increase the efficiency of our trans-o-flex Express and ThermoMed networks and create new synergies between the two networks," said trans-o-flex CEO Wolfgang P. Albeck. With a total investment of around 13 million euros, a hub has been built on a 41,649-square-metre site in the Potsdamer Platz industrial estate in Driedorf, where parcels and pallets can be handled in two different temperature zones. "trans-o-flex is the only service provider in Germany that can actively monitor, control and document the temperature in the entire logistics chain between 2 to 8 and 15 to 25 " Albeck explained.
One facility for different temperature zones
Previously separate facilities for the transport of refrigerated pharmaceuticals (2 to 8 the principle of free cooling. The temperature in the hub is regulated by a controlled ventilation system. "That saves energy," explains Albeck. "However, to ensure the temperature range of 15 to 25 "
High capacities and sustainable site concept
At the new site, trans-o-flex will have a total of 81 loading and unloading gates with only around 5,000 square metres of warehouse space. This is thanks to a Y-shaped construction that reduces space requirements and optimises handling at the same time. Albeck: "With the same handling space, we can install more loading and unloading gates in the Y-shaped construction compared to the traditional rectangular design. We also shorten the sorting distances in the building and thus save time in daily operations."
"The Driedorf industrial area is ideally connected in terms of transport," said Albeck. "Without having to pass through the town of Driedorf, the trans-o-flex vehicles reach the B255 east-west link road in one minute and the A45 south-north link road in 9 minutes." To be prepared for the increased use of electric vehicles, there are charging points for electric cars in the staff car park. There are also power connections at the loading and unloading gates to regulate the temperature of vehicles with green electricity. In addition, special connections for charging battery-electric delivery vehicles have been prepared.
Last but not least, the location of the hub right next to a solar farm is ideal for the company. "trans-o-flex has been sourcing its electricity almost exclusively from renewable energy sources since 2008 and documents, among other things, its climate footprint and CO2efficiency in its annual sustainability report." trans-o-flex aims to be completely carbon-neutral by 2050.
