On the basis of preliminary and unaudited figures, Hapag-Lloyd has concluded the 2022 financial year – in which it celebrated its 175th anniversary – with an EBITDA of USD 20.5 billion (EUR 19.4 billion).

Investing in new equipment

As part of our growth and development strategy, we are constantly investing in new equipment to both refresh and grow our fleet. We recently added 3 new vehicles to our fleet, increasing capacity for our customers as well as adding more modern, fuel-efficient vehicles to the fleet.

The new vehicles arrived with driver comforts such as Sat-Nav, fridges, microwaves and tv connections, to ensure our drivers have all the necessary comforts whilst they work hard to deliver for our customers.

With more equipment due to arrive throughout 2023, we will continue to invest in order to provide the best working environment for our staff, as well as improving and developing our service offerings to our great customers.
