A very significant reduction in kilometers covered without a load: -11.8%.

reduction of empty kilometers = lower CO2 emissions

For example, competitive freight rates due to minimising empty running.

utilisation of our vehicle fleet and reduce the number of empty kilometres.

Optimisation of transport planning - further reduction of empty mileage (round trip philosophy)

In 2017, the no-load level (kilometers without a load divided by number of kilometers covered) fell below 20% (19.9%) for the first time, compared to 22.6% in 2008.

With intelligent transport planning software, we reduce empty mileage to an absolute minimum.

The pallet maker therefore implemented measures to eradicate empty kilometers.

This increase is counter-balanced by reductions in total tonnage transported (-7.4%) and kilometers covered without a load (-3.4%).

Countless empty kilometres and long waiting times for transporters will soon be a thing of the past.

But beware: they will have to be quick off the blocks, because there will be more than one company seeking to fill up their empty kilometres in this way.
