With the “E-Park & Ride”, a state-of-the-art charging infrastructure with 41 high-performance charging points for electric trucks is being created in Dagmersellen. Thanks to the high charging capacity, more than one vehicle can be charged per charging point, meaning that a total of up to 82 trucks can be supplied per night. The energy required per night corresponds to the annual consumption of around nine 4.5-room apartments and is provided by three 2 MW transformers. With this infrastructure, Galliker is responding specifically to the growing demand for a low-emission vehicle fleet and consolidating its role as a pioneer in the field of sustainable transport solutions.

To compensate for the existing parking space, a two-storey underground garage with around 300 parking spaces will be built, 74 of which will be equipped with charging points for employees’ electric cars. It will be connected to the existing logistics centers efficiently and protected from the weather via two underground connecting tunnels, which will improve both safety and daily operations at the site.

The ground-breaking ceremony underlines the strategic implementation of the Zero Emissions Network. This has set itself the goal of equipping all locations with a fully integrated, emission-free energy and charging infrastructure. With the help of photovoltaic systems, high-performance battery storage, medium-voltage grids and a corresponding charging infrastructure, around 650 trucks should be able to run on electricity by the end of 2030. The E-Power-Bridge in Altishofen, which was opened on the same day, is a building block on this path that has already been implemented. It ensures an efficient energy supply for the constantly growing electric fleet.

With this project, the Galliker Group is taking another important step in its long-term commitment to modern, efficient and resource-saving transport and logistics solutions.
