The success of Aut0nom® cannot be denied with a new project launched by ARGAN in Chartres. Work on this new 18,000 sq.m platform has started in the Jardin d’Entreprises economic activity zone. Connected by the A11 motorway, the Chartres ring road and tomorrow by the future A154 motorway, this area is the economic heart of the Chartres Metropolitan area.

This new state-of-the-art logistics site will be operated under a fixed-term ten-year lease in future state of completion.

The future site will be made up of three cells: two with controlled temperatures (15°C/25°C) and one refrigerated (2°C/8°C). It will bring together all the future operator’s logistics activities on a single platform and thus drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by consolidating transport flows and eliminating shuttles between different sites.

This Premium site will be labelled Aut0nom®. Equipped with a photovoltaic plant on the roof coupled with energy storage batteries, it will produce its own green energy for its own consumption. Heating and cooling of the site will be provided by electric heat pumps and lighting by intelligent LEDs with presence and brightness detectors. All this equipment will make it possible to drastically reduce the site’s CO₂ emissions during the operational phase. The residual will be compensated through an ambitious reforestation plan carried out in France.

Delivery of the site is expected at the beginning of 2025.
