L'Oréal maintains commitment to sustainable logistics through DB Cargo FLS

L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics manufacturer, has been relying on DB Cargo Full Load Solutions (FLS) to transport its products in an environmentally friendly way for over four years - and will continue to do so for the next three years. Weekly transports bring creams, shampoos and shower gels from the distribution center in Muggensturm to Mannheim. From there, the goods are transported by rail directly to the Migros trading company in Switzerland, which has its own rail siding. This enables a significant reduction in CO2 emissions of around 90 percent, as well as fewer empty runs and ramp contacts - a solution that is not only sustainable, but also efficient.

L'Oréal and DB Cargo: more than just rail transportation
The partnership with DB Cargo goes beyond traditional rail transport. Alternative drive technologies such as HVO - biodiesel from waste materials - are also to be integrated into the truck pre-carriage in future in order to make the entire supply chain more climate-friendly. DB Cargo FLS is working closely with L'Oréal to develop customized logistics solutions that meet both ecological and economic requirements.

Pioneering logistics solutions for a green future
The strategic partnership will continue in the coming years. L'Oréal has further expanded the cooperation and added new transports in Germany and Austria. DB Cargo FLS is thus once again underlining its expertise in green logistics and its role as a reliable partner for sustainable transport solutions.
