CO2 tax impact on logistics whitepaper cover.

The new CO₂-tax - Nightmare or unexpected competitive advantage?

Greenplan

CO₂ tolls, rising costs, growing pressure – intelligent routing is now more important than ever. Since the end of 2023, the new CO₂ component of the truck toll has significantly increased the cost of road freight transport. Those who fail to plan efficiently now risk losing serious money. In our latest whitepaper, we reveal how intelligent routing solutions can reduce not only emissions but also time, distance, and toll costs – offering real relief for transport and logistics companies.

Fuel/Charge Stop Optimization

Greenplan

In traditional logistics, as the meter ticks closer to empty, drivers begin searching for the nearest station to refill. But the nearest station is not necessarily the most time-effective, cost-effective, or convenient. For e-trucks, the nearest station might not be near enough. Greenplan’s newest tool analyzes the cost and detour distance of various stations along a route to pre-plan smarter stops. It squeezes significantly more km out of every Euro spent on fuel and supports an easy transition to an electric fleet for operations looking to lighten their ecological impact.
