The two companies will also explore ways to electrify ports, warehouses and inland transport using CATL\u2019s advanced battery systems.<\/p>\n<p>CATL \u2013 officially known as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited \u2013 supplies batteries to many of Europe\u2019s leading vehicle manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and BMW. The company operates major production facilities in China and Europe, with plants in Germany and Hungary serving as key links in global battery supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>By becoming CATL\u2019s main global logistics partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/trans.info\/en\/sea-freight-punctuality-415728\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Maersk<\/a> will handle <a href=\"https:\/\/trans.info\/en\/electric-lorries-study-417142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">battery<\/a> transport across multiple modes, ensuring supply chain resilience and compliance for the movement of lithium-based products. The partnership is expected to strengthen CATL\u2019s international distribution network while supporting Maersk\u2019s efforts to decarbonise logistics operations.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond transport, the agreement includes plans to electrify logistics infrastructure using CATL technology \u2014 covering energy management, <a href=\"https:\/\/trans.info\/en\/ceva-recycles-batteries-420117\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">battery recycling<\/a> and power solutions for ports, terminals and warehouses. Such developments could play a growing role in reducing emissions from yard equipment, warehousing and local distribution fleets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombining CATL\u2019s battery technologies with our integrated logistics capabilities presents a powerful opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation of global logistics,\u201d said Morten Bo Christiansen, Maersk\u2019s Senior Vice President and Global Head of Energy Transition.<\/p>\n<p>Maersk aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire business by 2040, while CATL plans to reach carbon neutrality in its core operations by 2025 and across its supply chain by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>For European logistics professionals, the partnership reflects the growing convergence of battery technology and freight logistics. It underlines how major players are beginning to electrify the transport ecosystem \u2014 from long-haul shipping to the inland logistics networks that connect Europe\u2019s manufacturing and energy transition hubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Under the memorandum of understanding, Maersk will become CATL\u2019s preferred logistics provider, covering ocean and air freight, intermodal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22249,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[224],"tags":[245],"class_list":{"0":"post-22248","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-maersk","8":"tag-maersk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
