In mid-December, it was time for another installation \u2013 this time on the factory premises at Smurfit Westrock Pite\u00e5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;The charger is now installed, tested, and ready for use. We are very pleased to have established this partnership with Smurfit Westrock. Together, we can create change,&#8221; says Magnus Wikman, CEO of Wibax Energy, whose role is to provide charging infrastructure for Wibax&#8217; electric trucks and to produce and supply the group with electricity from renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fixed charging station at Smurfit Westrock Pite\u00e5 allows Wibax drivers to charge their trucks while they are stationary, unloading liquid chemicals into the paper mill&#8217;s tanks. Wibax can also make the charger available to Smurfit Westrock and their other suppliers as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;It is natural for us to contribute to enabling sustainable transport. Additionally, our industrial work environment improves with lower emissions of harmful particles and a significantly better soundscape,&#8221; says Ulf Aili, CEO of Smurfit Westrock Pite\u00e5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration involves Smurfit Westrock Pite\u00e5 providing a location and power supply for the charging station. In turn, Wibax has procured, installed, and is responsible for operating, maintaining, and monitoring the charging station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;Collaboration with our customers is crucial for making fossil-free transport a reality. At the same time, we are heavily investing in expanding the charging infrastructure at our own terminals,&#8221; says Magnus Wikman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another exciting development is that Wibax is exploring an additional flexible charging system to complement the mobile battery\/charging container WiCharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;We will be sharing more details in due course. There&#8217;s a lot of exciting progress right now, and we are happy to take the lead,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some time, Wibax has been part of the national REEL initiative, where leading Swedish stakeholders have joined forces to accelerate the transition to electrified, emissions-free heavy transport. REEL is funded by Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency, and the Swedish Transport Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-financed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency through the &#8221;Klimatklivet&#8221; initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wibax and Smurfit Westrock join forces to enable fossil-fuel free logistics between the two companies.
