Covestro has taken another step toward decarbonizing its supply chain by launching its first regular electric truck deliveries to a customer in China. As part of its expanding green logistics program, a heavy-duty electric truck now transports materials from the Covestro Integrated Site Shanghai to the Tongxiang manufacturing site of China Jushi, the world’s largest fiberglass producer, located in Zhejiang province.

Covering a round-trip of over 200 kilometers, the e-truck is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 36.9 metric tons annually—a 47 percent cut compared to conventional diesel transport, based on estimates from Covestro’s third-party logistics service provider.

This marks the first time Covestro has extended electric transport beyond its own operations to reach a customer site on a regular basis. It builds on experience drawn from short-haul transport using e-trucks to move chemicals between its Shanghai site and nearby warehouses.

“Supply chains play a crucial role in the chemical industry’s path to climate neutrality,” said Marius Wirtz, Head of Supply Chain & Logistics Asia Pacific, Covestro. “This commercial rollout with China Jushi proves that sustainable logistics is both viable and scalable. We’re committed to growing a network of partners to explore and expand transport solutions that bring environmental and business value.”
