Sustainable logistics: Smeg relies on DB Cargo FLS

Italian household appliance manufacturer Smeg and DB Cargo FLS are showing how logistics can be made sustainable. With intermodal transport solutions, they are shifting a large part of the route between Italy and Sweden to rail - a collaboration that relieves the environment and road traffic in equal measure.

Sustainability in logistics

Smeg, known for its iconic Italian-designed household appliances, is committed to sustainable transportation solutions. Shifting the flow of goods from road to rail reduces CO₂ emissions and minimizes the use of trucks - a step towards a more environmentally friendly supply chain. Rail transport is not only more environmentally friendly, but also significantly reduces the number of trucks on the roads.

Reliability for design products

Transportation between the production facilities in Italy and the warehouse in Sweden places high demands on logistics. Smeg's designer appliances require reliable delivery times and a continuously monitored supply chain. "Our dedicated staff in the operations department ensure control and real-time updates for our customer Smeg," says Nils-Henrik Hjälmdahl, Account Manager at DB Cargo FLS.

A role model for sustainable partnerships

The cooperation between DB Cargo FLS and Smeg is an example of how companies can make the supply chain not only efficient but also more sustainable through close collaboration and innovative solutions. Together, they are driving change in the logistics industry and showing that environmental protection and reliable supply chains can go hand in hand. Sustainable partnerships such as the one between DB Cargo FLS and Smeg are a step in the right direction: they relieve the burden on the environment, strengthen rail freight transport and set an example for viability for the future of logistics.
