Award from the Ministry of Climate Protection
As a leading Tyrolean technology company, Tyrolit focusses on sustainability in all areas. In addition to the future contribution to climate protection at the headquarters, the company is already fulfilling this responsibility with technologies and innovative solutions for various industries worldwide.
Tyrolit products such as cutting discs for dismantling nuclear power plants, cup wheels for maintaining the Austrian rail network and grinding wheels for surface treatment of wind turbines are already in use internationally.
Another building block in the sustainability initiative of the leading Tyrolean company
"The commissioning of electrically powered trucks is an important step in our ambitious sustainability initiative. Tyrolit is the first company in Tyrol and one of ten in Austria to use emission-free vehicles on a daily basis.
Pioneering work for more ecology in Tyrol
"We want to work with companies to improve sustainability in Austria and are proud to have started and implemented this pioneering project with Tyrolit,"
explains Daniela Hartner, Sales Manager at MAN Austria, "the savings achieved amount to 58 tonnes of CO₂ and 220 kilograms of nitrogen oxides per year. In addition to the important reduction in exhaust emissions, internal plant traffic can be handled quietly in future."
Award from the Ministry of Climate Protection
Tyrolit was recognised for its pioneering work in designing climate-friendly mobility in its own company at "THE PEP Partnership & Klimaaktiv mobil conference" in Vienna in April 2023. Christian Miklin, Head of Supply Chain Management at Tyrolit, received the award from the Federal Minister for Climate Protection Leonore Gewessler and representatives of the Association of Cities and Towns and the Chamber of Commerce.
We are delighted that the implementation of the e-fleet is once again bearing fruit and that we are now a klimaaktiv mobil project partner of the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology,"
says Miklin, adding that
The award encourages us to continue driving forward our sustainability strategy. With this step, we are showing how companies can organise their own mobility in a climate-friendly way.
Tyrolit is the first company in Austria to successfully switch its entire plant transport to e-trucks. Until now, e-trucks have only been used as test vehicles in various logistics companies in Austria.
