Galliker launches the “Zero Emissions Network” at its Aclens site

On October 19, 2026, Galliker inaugurated the "Zero Emissions Network" in Aclens. Following the logistics center 2 launch in March, it marks the site's second major 2026 project. Guests from politics and industry experienced the new energy system live.

Peter Ballmer, Head of the Western Switzerland Region, highlighted the significance of 2026 for Aclens in his address: following the capacity expansion with Logistics Center 2 in the spring, the "Zero Emissions Network" marks the second milestone within just a few months. It demonstrates that the location is setting the right course early on for a sustainable future.

While the rooftop and facade PV systems with a total output of around 2,040 kWp have been operational since spring, the new medium-voltage site grid now connects all local energy flows into an integrated system. Self-produced electricity is used directly for logistics operations or stored in the newly implemented 15 MWh battery storage system. This closed energy cycle makes it possible to use 100% of the generated power on-site—a major portion of which is used to charge the electric truck fleet overnight.

Since March 2026, the charging infrastructure has featured 40 modern charging points capable of supplying up to 50 electric trucks overnight. As part of the industry network "ASTAG Charge," this infrastructure will also be accessible to other transport companies. More than 60 companies have already joined during the test phase, creating a growing network of over 40 sites across Switzerland. The official launch of "ASTAG Charge" is scheduled for November 10, 2026.

Following the go-live at Imbach Logistik AG in Schachen just a week earlier, Aclens is the second Galliker Group location to deploy the "Zero Emissions Network." The national rollout is progressing rapidly, with sites like Möhlin (AG) and S. Antonino (TI), as well as all remaining Swiss locations, set to follow step by step. These investments lay the foundation for Galliker's goal to operate more than 760 heavy commercial vehicles fully electric and emission-free by 2035.
