Logistics from a single source...

The Steinkühler Group consists of the following companies: Spedition STR gewerblicher Güterkraftverkehr GmbH & Co. KG, G. Steinkühler Transporte GmbH, SCL Silolager and Container-Logistik GmbH, and Steinkühler Silo-Tankwagen Innenreinigung GmbH.

Those four companies combine the perfect interaction between forwarding, transport, interim storage and cleaning.

As a business that is working all over Europe the Steinkühler Group specialises in the transport of liquid, powdered and packaged products. Above all we established ourselves in the demanding food sector and branches connected to it.

The Steinkühler Group is electrifying its vehicle fleet. Just as in the commercial vehicle sector, the other areas of the vehicle fleet are also being constantly modernised and further developed in order to continuously reduce the company's CO2 emissions. In the first quarter of 2021, the first electrified company vehicles were added to the fleet and handed over to the employees. These Skoda Octavia IV hybrid vehicles replaced three diesel vehicles.

The employees have been given the opportunity to charge their vehicles continuously at the company headquarters in Rheine as well as at their own place of residence, to continuously recharge their vehicles and thus minimise the use of fossil fuels. In order to further reduce CO2 emissions in the energy supply of the electric vehicles, they are to be charged in the medium term at the company headquarters using self-produced electricity from photovoltaic systems.

The group of companies will gain initial experience with these vehicles in order to be able to use other alternative fuels in the future. At the same time, the first test scenarios for the commercial vehicle sector are being advanced in order to also use alternative energy sources in heavy goods transport.
