There is a correlation between freight prices and CO2 emission of logistic service providers. Service providers with an existing distribution network that fits a client’s shipments profile, will not have to add/arrange additional “extra mile transport means” to organise part of the shipments.
These service providers therefore optimize the utilization rate of their existing network. This will not only allow them to offer low rates, but this optimisation will also result in a lower CO2 emission for your transported cargo. it should be noted that besides network, also the equipment used impacts CO2 emissions.
