Great write up in Forbes by Jennifer Dungs. Love the Coaster Cycles OG UPS cargo bike shown. The key takeaway from this study: Logistics providers can finally stop worrying and love the electric cargo bike. Micromobility is more than a soft solution to be trotted out for the sake of burnishing a sustainable image. It is also a heavy hitter in terms of economic benefit— benefits that grow substantially when electric cargo bikes make up most of the fleet, rather than a small percentage of it. And as companies wrestle with the transition to electric trucks, in part due to high upfront costs and lack of supply, electric cargo bikes are looking like the most practical solution to get fleets electrified fast. https://lnkd.in/g8qUqATS

E-trucks in action for Jungheinrich! Reducing greenhouse gas emissions along the supply chain is a major challenge. Find out all the details here about a best practice that we have realised together with our logistics service provider F.A. KRUSE JUN. TRANSPORT LOGISTIK RENTAL APS. Our service provider F.A. Kruse jun. has recently started using fully #electric trucks for its transport logistics. The company wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make a contribution to climate protection. For us at #Jungheinrich, this means that our transport of goods and therefore our supply chain will also become a little more sustainable. The use of electric trucks is special, as they are still a rarity in German road transport. Trucks on tour... F.A. Kruse now has three electric truck tractors with a maximum range of 350 to 400 kilometres. Two more are expected to be added in August this year. The electric trucks are used for regional transport and carry shuttle routes for us between our external warehouse at F.A. Kruse in Brunsbüttel and our plant in Norderstedt. There are usually nine shuttle routes per working day. Three of these are currently handled by e-trucks, saving us around 60 tonnes of CO2 per year (according to data by F.A. Kruse). For Jungheinrich, the switch to e-trucks is almost cost-neutral. The truck starts in Brunsbüttel and travels approx. 85 kilometres to Norderstedt. Once there, its trailer is unloaded. The truck then drives back to Brunsbüttel and arrives at the charging station. The electric trucks are powered by green electricity. In just a few weeks, the charging points will be supplied with solar power. The PV system for this has already been built. Sustainability comes together on many levels in our collaboration with F.A. Kruse: We only manufacture electric forklift trucks, thereby helping to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in warehouses. The #lithium-ion batteries for these forklifts are checked in terms of quality by our logistics service provider, repackaged and delivered to us in Norderstedt by electric trucks in an environmentally friendly manner. There, we install them in sustainable electric forklift trucks. Jungheinrich AG truly committed with #sustainability

Did you know that the UK generates up to 44 million waste tyres annually? In the face of this staggering statistic, retreading tyres emerges as a sustainable solution to minimize environmental impact while maximizing resource efficiency. Retreading not only extends the lifespan of truck and bus tyres but also significantly reduces the consumption of valuable raw materials. The process involves regrooving and renewing treads, giving tyres a second and third life in service. This contributes to a greener planet and offers a cost-effective alternative, as retreads typically cost 35% less than new tyres. As the tyre industry continues to evolve, it's crucial to explore eco-friendly alternatives. Companies like Michelin and Continental are at the forefront, celebrating milestones in retreading and showcasing how this practice aligns with sustainability goals. Find out more in this insightful article shedding light on the world of retreads: https://bit.ly/3Ikzj4T #Sustainability #RetreadTyres #GreenTransportation #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalResponsibility #WorldEngineeringDay

Transforming Green Transport...Parallel Systems! In today's rapidly evolving freight transportation landscape, sustainability is no longer an option - it's a necessity. Major corporations and governments are enacting emission reduction policies while consumer demand grows for eco-friendly shipping. Traditional trucking and diesel freight trains are major contributors to transport-related emissions. Trucking accounts for a massive share of overland freight shipments, representing a $700 billion market in the United States alone. However, it is a highly emissions-intensive mode of transport. Trucks have lower fuel efficiency than trains, producing nearly three times the CO2 emissions per ton-mile. Yet trucks offer flexibility in routing, small-scale shipments, and door-to-door service. This convenience has maintained trucking's dominant market position despite its sustainability drawbacks. Legacy freight rail suffers from similar environmental issues as trucking, relying heavily on diesel locomotion. While freight trains are more efficient than trucks, their operations are constrained by fixed schedules, required volume, and lack of flexibility in splitting or re-routing. This limits the addressable market for freight rail compared to on-demand trucking. Alternative transport methods like aviation or hyperloop remain niche players and are unlikely to scale cost-effectively for the vast majority of freight loads. There is an alternative solution that combines the flexibility of trucking with the efficiency of rail while enabling sustainable operation. Parallel Systems delivers precisely that! Their solution centers on autonomous, battery-powered railcars and platooning technology, with vehicles that can break away from platoons en route and reroute based on destination. This unlocks trucking-like flexibility on existing rail networks. Parallel’s lightweight, aerodynamic vehicles with advanced software represent the cutting edge of freight rail innovation. Enabling shorter terminal times, near 24/7 utilization, and superior energy efficiency compared to diesel locomotives. Led by industry veterans from SpaceX, Tesla, and global automakers, Parallel Syetems is uniquely positioned to transform freight rail. Their innovations leverage proprietary vehicle architecture and AI optimization software. The pressure is on for freight transportation to adapt and the rail industry has relied on inflexible, manually-operated freight trains for over a century. Great work Matt Soule, Co-Founder and CEO, Co-Founders John Howard and Benjamin Stabler and the team at Parallel Systems!

We need to keep an open mind about #decarbonization on the path to #zeroemissions, says James Menzies after taking a spin in a long truck – a 34.5-meter combination weighing 60 tons during a visit to Volvo Group in Gothenburg, Sweden. Decarboninzation is a journey, not a switch to be flipped. And there are many paths to getting there. #trucking #transportation #lcv #sustainability #emissionsreduction https://lnkd.in/g9p93WJN
