Our solutions enables companies to collaborate on transporting goods in dense industrial areas to reduce emissions as well as costs
Viele Unternehmen produzieren in einer Umgebung mit begrenzten Platzkapazitäten. Wenn das Unternehmen expandiert, werde neue Unternehmensstandorte räumlich entfernt von den älteren Gebäuden gebaut. Das stellt die Logistik und Produktionsplanung vor neue (klimarelevante) Herausforderungen.
Read more about Climate-friendly logisticsThe challenge owner currently has two manufacturing plants that are only 1.5 km away from each other and require many goods and people to be transportet between the two every day. Delivering in time means that sometimes trucks go without being fully loaded which creates inefficiencies and unwanted transport emissions.
Our solution is a software that enables companies in dense industrial areas to connect to share their unused capacities. This can easily be rolled out in additional areas as there are thousands of similar cases in Germany and beyond. Furthermore, closer collaboration on transport could lower the risk of transitioning to lower-emissions vehicles, such as electric of fuel cell trucks. The software could be financed by a subscription model for the participating firms. The cost savings and image improvement through lowering emissions and increasing efficiency will more than make up for the subscription fee.
