With nine out of 10 trips to Oatly's warehouse in Helsingborg powered by electricity, the company expects to reduce its carbon footprint by 430 tons per year. Any remaining diesel trucks still on the road will be plugged into an automated logistics program from Einride, known as the Freight Mobility Platform. A beta version of the planning software is coming out next month.
