The energy company Gasum has expanded its gas filling station network into Sipoo. The first station in Sipoo has now opened in the Bastukärr Logistics Park and provides compressed gas for heavy-duty vehicles and for the needs of light transport equipment and passenger cars.
The new gas filling station recently opened in Bastukärr Logistics Park will particularly improve the possibilities for logistics operators and heavy-duty transport in the area to reduce their emissions and fuel costs with the help of gas. The station is situated at the intersection of Kervantie and Keuksuonti roads near the entrance to the Bastukärr site. The park is one of Finland’s largest logistics hubs and thousands of heavy-duty vehicle combinations pass through the park each week. The new station will give increasingly more transport companies serving logistics in the Finnish grocery trade a chance to switch to using road transport gas in their deliveries.
”The opening of a new station in in the Bastukärr Logistics Park is a natural continuation of the growing recognition of the benefits of gas among logistics operators. We are enabling more and more companies to switch to gas-powered vehicles and are constantly examining potential sites for new filling stations. Ensuring the convenient location of stations for our customers makes it increasingly easier to switch to cleaner logistics,” says Olli Paasio, Director, Traffic Finland at Gasum.
One of the biggest actors in Bastukärr Logistics Park is Inex Partners Oy, which is responsible for the provision of warehousing and transportation services for the grocery and consumer goods chain of the S Group. The company’s logistics centers in Bastukärr are part of a network covering the whole of Finland through which products are delivered to S Group stores. Around 1,000 vehicles of different sizes visit the logistics centers each day.
