Sustainability has always been an important focal point of Galliker's strategy. The commitment to sustainability has been intensified and driven forward, especially since 2020, when the "Green Logistics by Galliker" strategy was launched. A strategy that is firmly anchored in the values and daily activities of the 100-year-old family business. The company is all the more delighted to have received the award: "Receiving the Watt d'Or honors our commitment to making the logistics industry more sustainable. It shows that innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand. I would like to thank our employees, our customers and our partners for accompanying and supporting us on this journey. Together, we have been able to prove in recent years that sustainable logistics is possible and viable for the future," explains Peter Galliker, CEO of Galliker Transport.
Innovative electric power tunnel
A particular highlight is the underground electric power tunnel at the headquarters in Altishofen (LU), for the project planning and implementation of which Galliker Transport was awarded the Watt d'Or 2025. The tunnel, in which the power lines for 28 charging stations are laid, can be used to charge 28 electric trucks above ground with an output of up to 200 kW. "With the Elektropower tunnel, we are creating a forward-looking infrastructure that enables our electric trucks to be integrated efficiently and seamlessly into logistics operations without disrupting the above-ground infrastructure, space or processes. The tunnel integrates the charging processes into the logistics and protects the infrastructure. This is a decisive step on the way to CO2 neutrality," explains Thomas Müller, Head of Infrastructure Services at Galliker. Find out more about this impressive project in the video below!
Groundbreaking progress in zero-emission transportation
Galliker has consistently driven forward the development of the zero-emission part of its transportation and logistics network in recent years. The use of solar-powered electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks and energy-optimized warehouses with state-of-the-art heat recovery systems has significantly reduced the company's CO2 emissions. As of December 2024, more than 10% of the national vehicle fleet - around 100 vehicles - are already on the road with alternative drive systems.
In addition to Galliker Transport AG, Fent AG, Thomas Lüem Partner AG, CKW AG, Frey+Cie Elektro AG and Evtec AG also played a key role in the E-Power Tunnel project. The partner companies were also awarded a Watt d'Or 2025 diploma.
