Charging ahead Responsible business with an electric fleet

As part of its long-standing commitment to sustainability, Swiss window and facade specialist 4B has accelerated its transition to a fully electric fleet. Today 76 out of its 80 cars are the electric Volkswagen ID. 4 and ID. 4 GTX vehicles. The switch represents a significant step toward reducing operational emissions: to date, the fleet has saved more than 120,000 litres of diesel and over 200 tonnes of CO₂.

The transition began in 2023, and in 2025 a further 40 Volkswagen ID. 4s and one new ID. Buzz were added, bringing the 4B sales organisation close to a fully electric fleet. Since electric vehicles produce no emissions during operation, the new cars contribute to lowering emissions and improving air quality in both urban and rural areas. ESG statements A win for everyone The switch to new electric vehicles is a triple win: 4B can reduce their environmental footprint, strengthen the company’s brand using the new electric fleet and provide employees with modern vehicles with powerful driving performance.

Flexible charging solutions

With an average daily driving distance of around 130 kilo- metres, the performance of the electric fleet is well aligned with company needs. Typically employees only need to charge their vehicles twice a week. To make this as easy as possible, 4B has expanded its charging infrastructure at its Hochdorf headquarters with 20 new solar-powered charging stations. In addition to a charging card, 4B has also given employees full financial support to install home chargers so that they can charge the vehicles overnight and avoid the inconvenience of having to stop during the day for power.
