SAVING DIESEL, CUTTING CO2

By redesigning your transport operation

I was invited by the Cold Chain Federation to present as part of the recent Cold Chain Live month of activities. My presentation was on the impact that transport planning and network design can have on CO2 emissions. You can access all the resources from that event here.

There’s a limit to what you can cover in 20 minutes, so this piece aims to build on my Cold Chain Live presentation and suggest ten or more ways in which you could potentially save diesel and cut your company’s CO2 output. And some of them might even save you some cash at the same time. These ideas are in no particular order – they start with an area I covered in Cold Chain Live, and just follow my thoughts!
