Galliker News & Stories

On Monday, April 22, 2024, the first Volvo FH Electric, one of the first ever fully electric trucks in Portugal, will be delivered to Galliker Transport Lda.

For months, a brisk stream of around 600 temperature-controlled trucks travel to and from Altishofen - loaded with a total of more than 50,000 pallets of Easter products. The long lead time is the result of the high production volume, which the producers would not be able to handle in a shorter time. Production, transport, storage and customizing interlock like cogwheels to supply Swiss supermarkets, grocery stores and small delicatessens with chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs and other sweet temptations at Easter time. As a delicate cargo, the chocolate is not only transported at a controlled temperature, but is also stored in a product-specific manner and processed in customizing if required.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Daniel Zumbühl (Surseer Woche) to Altishofen - he accompanied our driver Sebastian Meier on a tour with the electric truck: "E-mobility is about to conquer the transport and logistics industry. The company Galliker already has well over 30 electrically powered trucks in use. Sebastian Meier from Triengen is regularly on the road with them. This newspaper was recently allowed to accompany him."
