ThyssenKrupp To Reduce Emissions

thyssenkrupp Elevator has released its long-term carbon targets as it continues its mission to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) moving forward. By 2030, thyssenkrupp Elevator is targeting a carbon footprint reduction of 25%, and by 2040, the company is aiming to reduce its GHG emissions by 50%, based on its current carbon-footprint for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Reductions of emissions over the next 10-20 years will be highly focused on the company’s fleet, including initiatives for optimization and route efficiency planning. The use of hybrid and electric vehicles will be also extended within the fleet as infrastructures become appropriate to our activity. The carbon targets initiative will also focus on improving technician driving efficiency via the VIEW platform, which will help reduce unnecessary mileage on vehicles and callbacks with fewer parts runs required. Technicians will eventually utilize MAX, thyssenkrupp Elevator’s real-time, predictive maintenance system, to determine which part(s) they need to bring to the jobsite without having to make a diagnostic trip. The initiative includes a sustainability plan for recycling, emissions reduction and protection of the environment, saving 64 tons of CO2 not emitted by the fleet, which means a saving of 400,000 km per year, equivalent to performing 30 laps of the Earth. As part of thyssenkrupp Elevator’s strategy to improve energy management in the factories, all energy relevant factories are ISO 5001 certified.
