Gasum's newest filling station for heavy-duty vehicles in Ylivieska, Finland, has opened

One of the world's largest logistics companies, DSV, uses biogas-powered vehicles in Finland to reduce transport emissions. The new Ylivieska station brings a wanted addition to the refueling network.

Gasum has opened a new liquefied biogas (LBG) filling station in Ylivieska, in the Ostrobothnia region of Finland. The station serves heavy traffic exclusively and is centrally located at the address Ouluntie 25, at the intersection of several important transport routes.

"The location of the Ylivieska station was chosen based on the needs of the logistics sector, as it is located along several major national transport routes. In addition, there are various freight hubs in the region, such as the terminal of major logistics operator DSV. Gasum has expanded its biogas filling station network in recent years with the idea that the locations of the stations should serve freight traffic on all main routes in the best way possible," says Juho Kurra, Head of Business, Traffic Finland, Gasum.

DSV reduces emissions using biogas

In 2025, DSV became one of the world's largest logistics companies when it merged with Schenker. The company has nearly 150,000 employees in more than 90 countries and transports millions of shipments every year.

In Finland, DSV employs 1,800 people in more than 20 locations. The company is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 throughout the value chain, and a key practical means of achieving this goal is the use of alternative fuels, such as biogas.

"Gasum's new filling station in Ylivieska is important for DSV, as next to it we have a terminal, where we will base a new biogas vehicle during the spring. DSV currently has a total of 26 vehicles in Finland that run on liquefied biogas and three vehicles that run on compressed biogas. The expansion of the LBG distribution network increases the possibilities for emission reductions in the transport sector," says Petteri Nurmi, CEO of DSV Road Oy, DSV's Finnish road transport company.

Low-emission transports even over long distances

Petteri Nurmi says that DSV relies on a mix of low and zero emission technologies, such as LBG, to make sure reductions can be achieved across operations. LBG can ensure CO2 is reduced for those vehicles where electrification or HVO is not attractive or possible.

The market share of gas trucks out of all newly registered heavy-duty vehicles in Finland was approximately eight percent in 2025. This year, the share is expected to grow even further.

Using biogas as a fuel can be an effective way for logistics companies to offer low-emission transports over long distances. The filling station network is already extensive in Finland, as well as in Sweden and Norway.

Many Nordic logistics buyers are also interested in the possibility of transporting goods across national borders with low emissions.

Gasum is committed to significantly increasing the supply of biogas, as demand increases, in both land and sea logistics in the coming years. Gasum invests in both its own biogas production as well as procurement from reliable partners.
