Метки (тэги, tags): Companies often collaborate with suppliers and customers to reduce the carbon footprint of their freight operations. Colombian manufacturer Corona and the Center for Latin-American Logistics Innovation (CLI), based in Bogot?, Colombia, have teamed up with another important logistics player to lower carbon emissions: the truck driver community. Founded in 1881, Six years ago,
In support of its climate change goals, As part of the pilot, CLI quantified truck fuel consumption and analyzed driver?s work patterns using hardware and software that sense engine variables. The data was used to design a driver training program on operating vehicles in accordance with manufacturer specifications, engine parameters, regional environmental and topography conditions, and the company’s sustainability goals. The main purpose was to improve driver performance by teaching best practices in vehicle operation and planned maintenance. The course was created in collaboration with SENA (Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje) the government-run Community College Organization of Colombia. The Universidad Andres Bello, Chile, participated in the teaching sessions, and CIMA (Centro de Investigaci?n en Mecatr?nica Automotriz) a research center at Tecnol?gico de Monterrey University in “We are partnering with our drivers to help us meet our sustainability goals and increase the efficiency of our fleet,” says Mario Bernal, Chief Executive, Environmental Issues, For example, standardizing vehicle speeds, maintaining the correct tire pressures, and optimizing the use of brakes increase the efficiency of trucks, lower fuel consumption, and reduce emissions levels. Streamlining the scheduling of trucks at logistics centers was also part of the pilot. An analysis of the training program and the project overall carried out by CLI confirmed that the initiative was a success. A 14% improvement in gallons-per-kilometer performance as well as a 6% reduction in fuel costs were achieved. During the project execution, the fleet’s greenhouse gas emissions levels declined by 19%. And the program cut costs by lowering The pilot also delivered some important gains for drivers. They benefitted from reduced accident rates as a result of better driving practices. There were quality of life improvements as well, because driving schedules were less variable during the pilot. Bernal says that one of the most important results “is the change in the motivation of drivers.” In addition to changing the way they do their jobs, drivers provided valuable ideas for further improvements. For example, they suggested that vehicle speeds should be adjusted to take account of different terrains such as mountainous areas. “The driving culture has changed because drivers now know what a carbon footprint is and how it connects to their jobs. This increases their motivation to make a contribution,” says Bernal. The project is now being rolled out to “There are over half a million truck drivers in
