In Argentina, 35% or more of the total distance traveled annually by Cargo Fleets may correspond to trips with empty trucks. For an average intercity truck this could unnecessarily add: 45,000 km, 18,000 fuel litters consumption and emission of 45 tons of CO2 every year (CEDAC).

An empty truck on the road only pollutes the environment

In addition to high consumption of resources that represents high costs for the operation, the empty trailers’ transportation of “dead distances” generate a high pollutant emission, contrary to the vision of sustainable cargo fleets that seeks to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact.

If we consider that more than 20% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from the Cargo Fleets Industry, it is key to optimize the travels and routes logistics of cargo fleets to make the empty trucks on route operation more efficient and profitable.

The most expensive truck is the one that is not loaded

Day after day, the Cargo Fleets accumulate kilometers and kilometers traveled completely empty, without cargo on board. After a vehicle delivers its cargo to its destination, it is very likely that it will not have a cargo for transport on the way back to its origin, transporting empty containers that do not generate a value for the business.

The Cargo Fleets in Mexico transport little more than 90% of the national cargo in Mexico (AMAVe), making the Cargo Fleets an essential operation for the economy in our country, for which it is key to integrate solutions that allow reaching the maximum taking advantage of its operation for the benefit of companies, end customers and consumers in general.
