PostNord Cuts Emissions by 42%, Accelerates Shift to Fossil-Free Operations by 2030

PostNord Sverige has achieved a 42% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, corresponding to 60,000 tons since 2020, as part of its commitment to fossil-free operations by 2030. This environmental milestone is driven by substantial investments in electric vehicles and related charging infrastructure, as well as the adoption of renewable fuel solutions.

Approximately 95% of PostNord's non-electric fleet now runs on Preem Redefine HVO100, a renewable diesel fuel produced primarily from waste byproducts of the paper and food industries. This fuel significantly cuts emissions—by at least 90% compared to fossil diesel—and is certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, ensuring sustainable sourcing without harming biodiversity. HVO100 can be used in existing diesel engines without modification, easing the transition away from fossil fuels.

Gustav Eriksson, PostNord’s Sustainability Manager, highlighted the critical role that high-quality renewable fuels like HVO100 have played in meeting the company’s climate goals. He also stressed the need for improved availability and market competition of renewable alternatives to accelerate the transportation sector's green transition. Furthermore, PostNord has begun branding its e-commerce deliveries with the Swan label to offer customers fossil-free shipping options.

Daniel Granquist from Preem emphasized the importance of collaboration among fuel producers, transportation companies, and customers to ensure the ambitious national and EU targets—a 70% emission reduction in transport by 2030 from 2010 levels—are met. PostNord's strategy illustrates how logistics companies can make significant contributions to sustainability and climate commitments through innovative fuel use and vehicle electrification.
