Between 2018 and 2021, Renault Group diminished the carbon footprint related to the transport of its items in Europe by 6.9%, exceeding its goal of 5.3%.
These outcomes have been validated throughout the framework of FRET21, a scheme which inspires shippers of components and automobiles to scale back the environmental influence of transport.
FRET21 is led by the French Surroundings and Power Administration Company (ADEME) and the Affiliation of Freight Transport Customers (AUTF).
Since becoming a member of this scheme in 2015, the Renault Group has diminished its CO2 emissions from its logistics actions in Europe by a complete of 15%, because of options applied by the Provide Chain division, equivalent to eco-design of packaging and discount of the variety of kilometres travelled.
The Renault Group Provide Chain intends to proceed its decarbonisation efforts and has dedicated to lowering its carbon footprint per car worldwide by 30% by 2030.
Florence Ughetto, Sustainable Improvement and Logistics Professional, Renault Group Provide Chain, mentioned:”For greater than 10 years, we’ve been working to determine options to scale back the environmental footprint of our provide flows. We’re more and more utilizing multimodal transport and enhancing the fill fee of containers and vehicles, in addition to the eco-design of our packaging and lowering the variety of kilometers travelled. This common work with lots of the Group’s enterprise traces and our suppliers, as shut as attainable to our industrial system, has enabled us to satisfy and even exceed our CO2 emission discount targets for the second time in a row.”
“As a serious participant within the provide chain on a world enjoying subject, Renault is rigorously and persistently dedicated to our Fret 21 initiative. Its actions are concrete and really operational, which is a assure of success, and they’re co-constructed with the transport service suppliers in a partnership method,” added Pierre Lupoglazoff, EVE Venture Supervisor at ADEME.
Renault says the three important decarbonisation levers are:
- Develop the usage of multi-modal transport;
- Cut back the kilometers travelled per cubic meter;
- Enhance the power combine and power efficiency of transporters.
Develop the usage of multi-modal transport. The Provide Chain is working with transporters to extend the share of flows by rail in comparison with transport by truck. For instance, the usage of trains from Japanese Europe to France has made it attainable to keep away from 2,600 tonnes of CO2.
Cut back the kilometers travelled per cubic meter. By optimising the loading fee of vehicles and filling of packaging, the Provide Chain has developed digital instruments to visualise vehicles in 3D and enhance the loading fee. This helped to keep away from the emission of 12,200 tonnes of CO2. As well as, the engineering groups labored to scale back the quantity of packaging used and to make the packaging denser, with a view to optimise the variety of items per package deal. Consequence: a contribution of 8,800 tonnes of CO2 averted.
By lowering the distances travelled, the intention is to carry the community of suppliers nearer to the manufacturing websites to scale back the variety of kilometers travelled per cubic meter. That is the case in France, for instance, because of the event of ElectriCity, which brings collectively an ecosystem of suppliers close to the three manufacturing websites of this industrial cluster devoted to electrical automobiles. This method has averted the emission of 6,120 tonnes of CO2.
Enhance the power combine and power efficiency of transporters. The Provide Chain animates the community of transporters with the ECO2 questionnaire which permits them to get well data associated to their environmental efficiency, specifically their common consumption, and to combine their discount commitments over the approaching years. Consequence: a discount in emissions of 5,700 tonnes of CO2.
