Green Mobility

We make it easier to travel in an environmentally friendly way.

With electric vehicles, company bikes, and subsidies for public transport, we support our employees in choosing sustainable alternatives. This way, we actively contribute to reducing emissions and promoting modern, future-oriented mobility solutions – for us, our region, and future generations.

My Experience with E-Mobility in Field Service

In everyday work, not only our customers but also our team benefits from the electrification of the vehicle fleet. Dietmar Schaupp, Service Technician at Poly-clip System Vertriebs- und Service GmbH, shares his personal experiences with his new electric vehicle:

"Switching to an electric vehicle was an exciting change. As a trained agricultural machinery mechanic, I was enthusiastic about combustion engines for years. But I was particularly drawn to innovative e-mobility: fewer mechanical parts and a quiet, comfortable driving experience. Driving simply feels like the future.

The transition to e-mobility was well-executed – no pressure, just the opportunity to switch voluntarily. This gave me time to decide if an electric vehicle was the right fit for me. The process was smooth and well-thought-out.

Of course, there were initial challenges, such as the sometimes suboptimal charging infrastructure, and I had to plan my routes more carefully. It would be convenient to charge directly at the customer’s location, but such situations were manageable. I use charging breaks effectively – whether for ordering spare parts or taking a short lunch break.

The advantages clearly outweigh the challenges: less maintenance effort, affordable home charging, and the great feeling of driving CO2-free.

What makes me especially proud is the positive feedback from my customers. Many are curious and ask questions about the e-vehicle. It’s a great feeling to be part of this change and to take the right step towards sustainability – for our company and the environment."

The Electrification of Our Vehicle Fleet is Gaining Momentum

Sustainability is a central part of our corporate strategy – and the electrification of our vehicle fleet plays a key role in this. Thanks to continuously improving infrastructure, we are increasingly relying on electrified vehicles in many countries within our corporate group.

Some countries are already pioneers: In the UK and Norway, our vehicle fleet is already 100% electrified. In Sweden, an impressive 90% of our fleet consists of electric vehicles, while in the Netherlands and at the Consumables GmbH site in Germany, 75% of the vehicles are already electrified. Depending on local conditions, we use a combination of hybrid and fully electric vehicles.

Charging Stations for Our Employees

We are pleased to offer our employees the opportunity to use charging stations at our locations in Eppertshausen, Gedern, and Hattersheim – both for company vehicles and private electric vehicles. Charging can take place during working hours, allowing for flexible and convenient use. This initiative not only supports individual mobility but also actively contributes to the promotion of sustainable energy.

The process is simple: Employees register their need, and after activating their access chip, they can use the charging stations at any time. The costs are based on our current electricity contracts.

This provides an easy and sustainable way to promote e-mobility among our employees while contributing to reducing our environmental footprint.

Voluntary Public Transport Subsidy

At Poly-clip, we support environmentally friendly mobility by offering our employees a voluntary subsidy for using public transport. This financial support makes it easier for our employees to switch to public transportation and helps create a more eco-friendly commute.

The subsidy is paid out conveniently along with the payroll By doing this, we contribute to reducing CO2 emissions while improving our employees’ daily commute.

Flex-Fuel Vehicles in Brazil

At Poly-clip in Brazil, we focus on sustainable mobility that benefits both the environment and the local economy. Our facility in Brazil takes advantage of a unique local benefit: ethanol as fuel. Produced from sugarcane, ethanol provides a CO₂-reduced alternative to fossil fuels.

Almost 90% of vehicles in Brazil are so-called flex-fuel vehicles, capable of running on both ethanol and gasoline. We also use this technology to minimize our ecological footprint. By using ethanol, we actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gases while supporting regional agriculture, which benefits from ethanol production.
