Global shipping and logistics company Maersk has deployed its first batch of electric heavy-duty container trucks at its Lin-gang Flagship Logistics Centre in Shanghai, marking a significant step in its efforts to decarbonize inland logistics operations.
The trucks will operate between the logistics centre and Shanghai Yangshan Port, supporting both import and export cargo movements. The initiative is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving the efficiency of cargo transportation.
Officially launched in November 2025, the Lin-gang Flagship Logistics Centre has enhanced Maersk’s ability to manage domestic and international cargo flows from one of China’s major trade and logistics hubs. The deployment of electric trucks further strengthens the integration of warehousing, inland transportation and ocean freight services within the company’s logistics network.
Maersk said the move underscores its commitment to sustainable logistics solutions and the development of lower-emission supply chain operations.
