4.6 metric tons vs 100 metric tons?

‍

Did you know the average passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year? And a heavy-duty truck can emit upwards of 100 metric tons of CO2 per year, depending on usage and efficiency? 

‍

You’re thinking maybe we should focus more on sustainability in trucking than passenger transportation right?

‍

We agree!

‍

According to the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE), A real-world study of 13 electric trucks delivering freight across North America has found that if all U.S. and Canadian medium and heavy duty trucks became electric, about 100 million metric tons of CO2 would be saved from going into the atmosphere. 

‍

To put 100 million metric tons into perspective, consider this:

‍

A mature tree can absorb about 22 kilograms (0.022 metric tons) of CO2 per year. To absorb 100 million metric tons of CO2, you would need around 4.5 billion mature trees for one year.

‍

This helps illustrate the scale of 100 million metric tons of emissions and the significant impact it has on the environment. Supply chains are to blame for 90% of the environmental damages caused by consumer goods companies.

At WARP, we believe that sustainability in logistics isn't just a goal—it's a necessity.

WARP leverages technology to optimize transportation routes and provide high visibility. 

‍

Middle mile route optimization isn’t just about speeding up delivery time. It’s about greener and more sustainable logistics, reducing costs, lowering emissions, and enhancing last-mile delivery efficiency.

‍

Dynamic routing optimizes each delivery route for higher density. This allows more stops in a shorter time frame, reducing miles traveled and enhancing resource efficiency. Fewer vehicles are used due to dynamic routing, which lowers traffic congestion and emissions.
