    DB Schenker goes electric in Fairs & Events Logistics at RAI Amsterdam

    Tilburg, 22 November 2024 – DB Schenker has made an innovative step on the way to sustainable logistics by introducing a new fleet of electric forklift trucks for its Fairs & Events operations in the Benelux.

    This significant investment in zero tailpipe emission solutions positions DB Schenker as a front runner in the venue industry, where the use of electric forklifts is still uncommon.

    Nicole Biesheuvel, Vice President Fairs, Events & Special Logistics at DB Schenker Benelux: “This milestone, in partnership with RAI Amsterdam, underscores our commitment to sustainability and strengthens our collaboration. Both DB Schenker and RAI Amsterdam share core values of sustainability, and together, we are advancing towards our shared environmental goals. The new electric forklifts are furthermore quieter and safer, featuring extra cameras and professional lighting for enhanced safety. We have been able to showcase the successful deployment of the new electric forklift fleet during the build-up of the MetsTrade 2024 at RAI Amsterdam, where our dedicated Fairs & Events team once again demonstrated their expertise, ensuring smooth and professional operations.”

    Wim Braakman, Manager Traffic & Logistics, RAI Amsterdam: “The DB Schenker forklift trucks contribute to the RAI sustainability goals. An additional advantage of quiet forklifts and especially hydraulically steered forks is that noise pollution in the residential area is also reduced. A real win-win situation.”

Whether it involves international or domestic transportation, customs clearance, or the delivery of exhibition and stand construction materials to and from the booths, tailor-made solutions are provided to ensure materials arrive on time and in perfect condition.
