A practical support guide to Transport Collaboration from IGD and ECR UK to help businesses identify and implement opportunities to:
- Increase vehicle utilisation
- Reduce road miles travelled
- Reduce transport costs
Through sharing transport resources and utilising both the outbound and return journeys of vehicles. | |
What are the benefits of sharing transport?
The food and grocery industry is the biggest user of road transportation and as such has a responsibility to manage its impact on the environment.
While levels of empty running have decreased over the last 30 years, one quarter of food and grocery miles are still estimated to be running empty.
Sharing transport resources through backhaul and front-haul, are ways in which companies can work together to reduce the environmental impact of their logistics activities, but where do you start?
Helping companies work together
The guide is designed to support companies in implementing partnership activities by pulling together existing best practice processes, from across retailers, wholesalers and suppliers.
All of which are supported by case studies that illustrate the transport collaboration achievements of other companies.
Whatever size of fleet you are running, this guide is applicable to you.
