FedEx Express has announced a new energy-efficient distribution centre in Wilrijk, Antwerp.
The new energy-efficient facility will be fully equipped to load and unload thirty delivery vans simultaneously, representing a 25% increase in capacity.
The facility's energy efficient solutions include an air-water heat pump that reduces energy consumption by more than 40% and CO2 emissions by more than 60%, and a ventilation and building automation system that allows each room to be lighted and heated separately.
Other features include low-energy light bulbs throughout the facility and recycled water for washing vehicles.
The facility's location was strategically selected to reduce driving time by providing immediate access to highways and public transportation.
