On April 22nd we will celebrate Earth Day 🌍. Which better occasion to celebrate the impact of our work to reduce carbon footprint. In my case, this passes through the decarbonization of the transports. At Amazon Transportation we are leading the change and we continue electrifying the way we deliver goods to our Customers! The path ahead is not easy: we need to accelerate the transition, by creating higher demand for electric charging infrastructure in all the EU countries. Thanks to this, many other companies in the logistic industry will be able to join the conversion from diesel to electric. Governments need to rethink their energy supply strategies and increase investments in green sources generation. But every big change starts from a small first step - and we believe that we are taking the right path ahead! For the good of our Planet, of ourselves, of the future generations. Happy Earth Day to everyone! #earthday #workhardhavefunmakehistory #thereisnoPLANetB

Unsurprisingly, #transportation networks, #logistics providers, and supply chains are grappling with unprecedented strains. Consider that 76% of supply chain executives report more frequent disruptions now than three years ago, and the visibility into these chains remains alarmingly low, with only 6% of companies having complete visibility. So, as we look to 2024, something’s got to give. What are the transportation industry’s new realities, and what does the future hold? https://hubs.li/Q02b-1G70

At first glance, it looks like logistics companies should be the first to embrace EVs. They are global brands under a lot of regulatory pressure and media attention. They need to deliver to Ultra-Low Emission zones in many cities where ICE access is limited. And the cost savings on fuel and repair are significant. But the change is slow, and many companies recently backpedalled on their green commitments. Amazon eliminated its 2030 carbon neutrality goal, pushing it back to 2040, UPS scuttled its 2025 emissions-reduction pledge, and FedEx is trailing with its EV adoption. Last mile deliveries using EVs need a different set of optimizations than ICE vehicles and sometimes warrant the adoption of multi-modal operations.

If you're curious about the benefits of intermodal transportation, I highly recommend listening to Spyros Kalpogiannis and Rawad Dagher from Amazon 👇 #Intermodal transportation isn't just about reducing #CO2 emissions, which is systemic and a result of the mode of transport, but it's also a way to: ✓ Increase efficiency and optimize costs. ✓ Enhance economic performance through better utilization of material resources: optimization of tractors and trailers to be able to carry out more with the same number of equipment. ✓ Enhance human resources (drivers) and thus improve the social aspect of transportation. Intermodal transportation is therefore the key to massively decarbonizing long-distance flows; however, service quality and accessibility must be ensured. At HELROM, we do it and democratize access to all trailers by offering reliability, punctuality, and transit times comparable to road transport. Thanks as well to Andrew Davenport from Nestlé for the insights. BVL - Bundesvereinigung Logistik #amazon #sustainability #transportation #logistics #decarbonization #netzero

Big delivery companies like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are finding it hard to cut emissions despite promises. Amazon planned to make half its deliveries eco-friendly by 2030, but online shopping is booming, making it tough to lower emissions. One big problem is the high cost of electric trucks and a lack of places to charge them. Even though some progress has been made, others are struggling because they can't get enough electric trucks or find ways to charge them easily. Governments are starting to force delivery companies to use cleaner trucks, which adds more pressure. #FreightIndustry #Logistics #SustainableShipping #TransportationSustainability

Transportation is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, guided by two critical principles: sustainability and people. 🌱 The journey towards decarbonizing trucking is gaining momentum, with truck makers soon achieving economies of scale, making electric trucks more accessible. 💡The future is electric, driven by innovations like the e-axle and the convergence of policy and technology. 🚚Behind every sustainable transport system are the unsung heroes, the drivers. We must prioritize their well-being, recognizing the urgency in improving their conditions and recognizing their profession. Together, through industry-driven and legislative actions, we can make a difference. Our experience at #AmazonFASTforward was filled with insightful panels, valuable connections, and a motivating sense of purpose.

"Emissions from last-mile delivery traffic will increase by 32% by 2030, so implementing technological changes is critical," reports CNN. "In Europe, Amazon plans to spend $972 million on electric vehicles, increasing its fleet of electric delivery vans on the continent to 10,000 by 2025," highlights the article. Sustainability undoubtedly has always been a part of Parcelly's very own DNA. We are not just focused on operational efficiency, but also allow retailers and carriers to reduce the environmental impact of failed deliveries, inefficient delivery cycles or distances. Besides Parcelly proactively offsets carbon emissions through our partner Atmosfair. Making a difference one parcel at a time.

The logistics industry is undergoing a significant transformation towards a more sustainable future. Amazon is at the forefront of this movement, having deployed 50 all-electric trucks in Southern California. This initiative is strategically aligned with California’s forthcoming ban on new diesel truck sales by 2035 and the impending restrictions on diesel vehicles at seaports. Meanwhile, A.P. Moller - Maersk, a key player in the industry, has actively embraced this transition. Their electric trucks, powered by a state-of-the-art charging station in Lynwood, are already a common sight at the ports.
