One way is to reduce the use of Patrol and diesel cars. The introduction of electric cars is the sure solution in reducing the circulation of carbon. One othe way is the government to improve our public transport system that will discourage individuals from going to work or travelling with their personal cars thereby reducing the numbers of cars on the road.

Route optimization is a great feature to optimize fuel and time, however, the optimization is made based on assumptions like weather patterns - therefore it is important to qualify and ensure the quality of the data.

Gather 'round, me hearties, for a tale of eco-conscious voyages! In bustling ports, captains sought to reduce their carbon footprint. They summoned AI wizards for smart routes and switched to electric ships. Cargo was grouped to save doubloons. Real-time updates on fuel and green fuels like wind power helped. With data treasure, they sailed eco-friendly seas. And so, they ventured forth on sustainable treasure hunts, treading lightly on the planet and singin' sea shanties of green glory! The end, until the next eco-adventure! 🌍⚓ #GreenTransportation #EcoVoyages #CarbonFootprintQuest

By now technology allows a lot more than just optimising a route; i.e. a transport from A to B. The distance travelled without transporting anything, the empty mileage, is just as important. But there is much more: A modern #TMS (unfortunately not many of those are not 'modern' any more by now) can plan re-fuelling points to avoid wasted mileage and / or ensure #biofuel locations are being used. Given some alternative #fuel #trucks are more expensive to operate (either because of the cost of the truck or because of the cost of the fuel), #productivity now has not just a #financial aspect but an #environmental one too. To be(come) the #transportation of choice alternative fuel transport must be competitive.

Picture this: you're charting a course through treacherous seas, but instead of a ship, it's a fleet of vehicles, and the treasure bein' sought is a smaller carbon footprint. Route optimization, me hearties, be like havin' a seasoned navigator aboard. It finds the most efficient routes for your deliveries, considerin' factors like traffic.With advanced algorithms and data at the helm, this software plots your course in real time. It helps ye dodge traffic jams, steer clear of delays, and stay on the straight and narrow. The result? Less fuel burned, fewer emissions, happier customers, and a treasure chest full of productivity.whether you're haulin' goods or ferrying passengers, route optimization be the wind

On average (in Europe) rail freight can produce up to 6 times less CO2 emissions compared to #road transport. Economically, rail freight starts to make sense for distances of 700 kilometres or more. In recent years longer distance #roro #ferry transport has been factored in to reduced #carbon emission routing. Whilst many of the ferries operated (in Europe) are not very environmentally friendly by themselves (new, alternative fuel or #hybrids really only were introduced from 2021), the amount of road kilometres saved for 100's of trucks per crossing can make a positive impact. #Ikea are increasingly using ferries in the #Baltic Sea.

Electric vehicles are part of the solution but alternative fuels offer a more scalable solution that can be applied across different modes

Hybrid trucks, which utilize a combination of hydrogen and electric power (such as those manufactured by Tevva), present a viable solution to address range anxiety in the pickup and delivery sector. As of 2023, these vehicles are readily available in the market. Additionally, fully electric 40-ton trucks have also proven their efficacy in performing the required tasks. However, it is crucial not to overlook the current scarcity of truck charging stations on major routes. To mitigate this issue, it is advisable to install 150 or 350-kW truck chargers at your facility for quick refills during the loading process. Be prepared that installing such charging infrastructure may incur a significant investment, potentially in the six-figure range.

In the quest to reduce that dreaded carbon footprint, there be a third treasure trove – electric vehicles (EVs)! We've got the battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and even the fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in our fleet. Now, why be these EVs worth their weight in doubloons? They be quieter, cleaner, and more efficient than those rum-guzzlin' beasts. Lower costs, higher energy efficiency, and less pollution be the bounty we reap. We use transportation management software as our compass. It helps us manage the fleet, charge our ships efficiently, monitor our energy use, and tally up our carbon savings. We even hook into smart grids and harness renewable energy like true modern-day pirates!

Switching to electric vehicles (EVs) or incorporating hybrid vehicles into your fleet can dramatically reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

BaaS (Battery as a Service) where Battery is seen as a Service and not a cost will speed the adoption of EVs in Africa. With this, the CAPEX on acquiring an EV becomes relatively the same as the ICEV. BaaS increase access to electricity for Urban and Rural areas, increases employment generation, increases EV travel distance, and reduces refuelling time at the station.

It's the art of workin' together with other like-minded souls in the transportation realm – shippers, carriers, customers, and even those clever third-party logistics providers (3PLs). Picture this: we join forces and sail under one banner, sharin' resources Well, we use collaborative transportation platforms as our trusty compass. These digital wonders connect us to a network of transportation comrades. We coordinate schedules and capacities, consolidatin' our loads and shipments like a well-stocked treasure chest. The result? Improved utilization ,lower transportation costs, and emissions as clean as the ocean breeze. Plus, our customers are happier than a parrot with a cracker, and their loyalty be as steadfast as the North Star.

Way underrated in my view when it comes to CO2 and the environment. Many platforms struggle to turn a profit. And, in my opinion that down to focusing on on the "financials" only rather than adding the carbon aspect.

Well said but quite challenging to to achieve in Nigeria at the moment. Data sharing with reasonable fleet matrices will go along way to help achieve all of these. The measure of trust and sincerity of purpose can also help to make sure that this is achievable. Thank you....

Não vejo com bons olhos o transporte colaborativo. Há muita competição no setor por cargas e os preços dos fretes cada vez mais baixos. Na minha opinião o que amenizaria a ociosidade seria o transporte em veículos menores com o devido planejamento das cargas para que ninguém saia prejudicado.

Leaders in their sectors (FMCG, pharma, etc) should motivate their 3PL providers to develop collaborative transportation (in one truck), even with direct competitors. Decades ago for leading FMCG companies, it sounded like a nonce to have joint operations (whs, transport) with competitors, on the base of 3PL. But from the logistics point of view, it was obvious to move in that direction, to decrease costs, and now to lessen the carbon footprint. Goods should compete on the shelve, in operations teams need to find opportunities for collaboration. That will have a positive impact in many directions.

First. Measuring is knowing. If you know your carbon footprint you can start to reduce against this benchmark. How do you measure? Use the software platforms that can measure all transportmodes (air, sea, train, intermodal, FTL, LTL, groupage, parcel...) What platform can do? I know of one : Shippeo. Second Implement it now.

Electric vehicles are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost means that charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. The electricity cost can be reduced further if charging is done with the help of renewable energy sources installed at home, such as solar panels. Registration fees and road tax on purchasing electric vehicles are lesser than petrol or diesel vehicles.

From the land of the not-so-smart to the realm of genius voyages! Starting from square one, we'll talk about "Dumb to Smart Transportation." We've got sensors, devices, software, and networks at our disposal. These smart wonders help us gather data from our transportation doings and the world around us.With these smart solutions, we keep tabs on our loot. We track and fine-tune our key performance indicators (KPIs), all while automatin' and streamlinin' our tasks. And when the winds of change blow, we respond in real time, like nimble pirates escapin' the Royal Navy The treasure at the end of this voyage? So, me hearties, from dumb to smart, we set sail for a brighter, greener future! 🚢🌟 #SmartTransportation #FromDumbToSmart #GreenVoyages

Aaah. So now we're getting to the point here. Route optimisation, modal shift, EVs, etc. all on their own won't do the "trick". We need to move from #TMS / Transportation Management System to 'TMU' / Transportation Management Universe and hear devices and systems that ALL talk the SAME language of Open Tip Model / #OTM are key. Apart from Shippeo there is @Transportial which is also one of the few TMUs that can combine all modes of transport. Never mind the actual system or platform; to get REALLY smart and CO2 effective trucks, drivers, fuel, servicing, routes, shippers, vehicles, train, ferry, etc. all will need to be connected data wise in order to make a maximum positive impact.

Smart transportation includes a synchromodal planning. Different modi ( inland waterways, railways and roads) are used and even a switch from one mode to another mode during the trip must be possible. This needs powerfull synchromodal planning algoritms and tools

Last Mile Cold Chain Managing cold chain is one of the most energy intensive logistics operations. Running a refrigerated vehicle, may not be a sutainable choice for e-commerce deliveries, like groceries or e-pharmacies, due to the shipment load not being sufficiently large. Using insulated passive shipment boxes, and packaging them with PCMs coolants is a much more energy efficient choice. However, as the temperatures are not actively regulated in these passive boxes, the shipments run a risk of temperature excursion. A well designed solution using IoT can mitigate this risk substantially, thus enabling reliable and efficient last mile cold chain operations.

The problem is we manage carrier rates backwards. Carriers should set rates and control access and the TMS systems should access those rates real time. Instead we have old stale rates and subsequently trucks pass each other empty going to pickups. Not nly should Carriers manage there own rates, Carrier rates should have volume and early/late pick up criteria to help decide who gets the load tender. Shippers can even modify appt times to meet these datapoints pre-tender.

Do not forget the driving behavior monitoring tools. Having a tool to measure the driving behavior combined with personal coaching and follow up of drivers can result in fuel reductions up to 5%. The driving behavior can be measured with vehicle data from a OBD connector or CAN-bus connector in the vehicle, but also via apps on smartphones and with fixed mounted camera's on the dashboard. Combining the data from these different sources and analysing this data with AI will give the best results.

Veículo vazio tem que encher e veículo cheio tem q estar vazio. Jamais transitar com veículo sem carga. Para isso, sempre buscar cargas onde o veículo estiver.

Alternative Fuels: Exploring alternative fuels like synthetic fuels, hydrogen, or renewable natural gas can help reduce emissions from transport units.
