At the end of June, the "Science Based Targets initiative" approved Essinge Rail's climate target for greenhouse gases including CO2. The approval means that our target is scientifically based and in line with the Paris Agreement of 2015. We are committed to reducing our CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 based on 2018 baseline. The target [...]

We are now expanding our station in Frövi with more transhipment space and new tracks. It also means that we will be able to connect our entire facility by extending existing tracks. This will create the conditions for us to be able to receive more freight on wagons and to meet increased demand. Essinge Railport, as we call our facility, now has 350 metres of track and 25,000 m2 of transhipment and storage space, of which 5,000 m2 is indoors, connected to the tracks.

We set up advanced digital meeting spaces with professional image and sound conditions in the office. The computer screen is fine but a customised "huddle room" is better. This creates the conditions for quick check-ins, video meetings, collaboration and impromptu brainstorming. It should increase efficiency and speed up decision-making. And then it's more fun to meet often, even if it's digitally. [...]

On 15 February, we moved our Stockholm office to new, purpose-built premises. The new address is Högbergsgatan 26 b, right next to Mosebacke torg on Katarinaberget in Södermalm. Now we are real "Mosebasker". The easiest way to get here is by tram, of course. Metro and Saltsjöbanan to Slussen and the commuter train to Södra Station, all trams carry here. In fact, we all [...]

Fredrik takes the helm On 1 February, Fredrik Malmborg Nyberg took over as the new CEO of Essinge Rail.

Merry Christmas all customers, suppliers and others who like what we do! Now we take the train towards 2021 and hope that you all have a healthy and nice new year.

This year we give a Christmas gift to Stockholms Stadsmission and its important work for those who are less fortunate. Every day we note its important contribution and bow with respect. Merry Christmas from us at Essinge Rail!

Finally our new Linde E80 diesel killer arrived, a real workhorse for outdoor jobs. It replaces our last fossil fuel truck. We expect it to save 6,000 litres of diesel a year and our own solar power will power the machine. But the big winner is the environment as CO2 emissions will be reduced by 15,500 kg annually, [...]

The government proposes to gradually increase the reduction levels in the reduction obligation for petrol and diesel until 2030, with the aim that by 2030 diesel will be 66% renewable. This is good news. The law will enter into force in June 2021. Even better news is that since 2018 we are already running on HVO 100, i.e. 100% [...]

To help our customers with their environmental and climate goals, we are now introducing CO2 emissions reporting for each individual transport order in the invoice. The figure is in kg. From 1 April 2020, the social cost will be increased to SEK 7 per kilo of CO2 emitted, according to a new report from the Swedish Transport Administration. Every kilo of carbon dioxide that is not released [...]
