Business concept
Dagab helps stores boost their sales and profitability through efficient, adapted logistics solutions.
Strengthen environmental profile
A central matter concern energy use at the distribution centres, where work has been conducted to measure and reduce energy consumption by refrigeration units.
A wind power system was installed at the Jordbro and Backa distribution centres.
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions from transports is a constant priority. Dagab use environmental pallets made of recyclable plastic. The pallets are stackable and considerably lighter than wooden pallets, which increases capacity utilization in trucks and reduces fuel consumption.
Introduction of a fleet management system has begun. The system makes it possible to lower fuel consumptionby monitoring the movements of each individual delivery vehicle.
