Absortech reinforces electric-only company car policy

Absortech continues to apply its electric-only company car policy, with 80% of its current fleet now electric. The updated fleet consists of four cars, each driving approximately 30,000 kilometres per year, corresponding to a combined annual driving distance of around 120,000 kilometres.

Based on current driving volumes, Absortech estimates that the use of electric vehicles instead of conventional fossil-fuel cars can reduce operational CO₂ emissions from company car use by approximately 16–20 tonnes per year.

The estimate is based on a combined annual driving distance of 120,000 km and compares illustrative GHG Protocol passenger-car emission factors for fossil-fuel vehicles (145 g CO₂/km for diesel and 173 g CO₂/km for petrol) with estimated emissions from charging electric vehicles in Sweden, based on average EV electricity use (190 Wh/km) and Swedish electricity carbon intensity (18 g CO₂e/kWh). The calculation covers operational use only and does not include vehicle manufacturing, battery production, charging infrastructure, or end-of-life emissions.

By applying an electric-only vehicle policy, Absortech is reducing emissions in an area of daily operations where direct action is possible and measurable.

While this does not represent the company’s total transport-related climate impact, it is an important improvement within Absortech’s own operations. It also reflects the company’s ambition to make sustainability part of everyday decision-making, not only long-term goals.

Absortech sees sustainability as a continuous process built on concrete improvements over time. Its company car policy is one example of how operational choices can support that direction with measurable impact.

This initiative is part of Absortech’s broader sustainability efforts. Read more here.
