Ride-sharing platform for cargo squeezes the air out of trucks and reduces emissions
Experts from the business sector have known it for a long time. Even trucks that are loaded are only utilized by approximately 60 % in Europe´s transport networks. COLO21 has developed a solution for this problem and now offers a “ride-sharing platform” for cargo.
(firmenpresse) - Bernstadt, 28.6.2016 - Via COLO21, transport companies can offer free capacities. Companies and private persons can then search for a ride-sharing possibility for their shipments and book them directly. In contrary to existing freight exchanges on the market, also smaller shipments can be shipped with this solution. Next to the positive effect on the profitability of the transport companies, the infrastructure and the environment can be relieved.
COLO21 CEO, Jörg Frommeyer, states: “There are by far too many trucks on the roads. If they drive they have to be at least well utilized. And with the ride-sharing platform for cargo by COLO21, we achieve the same advantages as for the transport of persons. Cargo is travelling on trucks that are driving anyway. It’s both cost-efficient and reduces the number of trucks on the road.”
Numbers from the German market show the possible impacts. In 2015, trucks travelled 29,73 bn km on German motorways. The number of trucks could be reduced by 25.000 if the utilization would go up by just 10 %. That would be a queue with a length of approx. 450 km! Approx. 3 bn km could be saved, a CO2 reduction of 2.5 mn Tons per annum. That is the same amount of CO2 being emissioned by the private households of a big city like Hamburg. And these are just the numbers for the German market.
In the meantime, 900 forwarders across Europe are members at COLO21 – growing continuously.
