Coming back with
the goods
Haulage companies and freight
forwarders are being invited to reduce
congestion, CO2 emissions and costs
by taking advantage of a new online
platform designed to optimise the
loading rate of light commercial
vehicles making express deliveries
across Europe. Currently almost 60%
of light commercial vehicles that carry
out urgent deliveries come back empty
on the return leg of long-distance
journeys. The Express-online platform
developed by Sesame Active System
addresses this problem by matching
unladen vehicle journeys with demand
for low volume express
freight deliveries. This is
done in real-time, taking
into account a vehicle’s
estimated location.When
the Express-online system
identifies a freight/vehicle
match, it immediately alerts
both the haulage company
and the freight forwarder
enabling the two parties to
get in touch.
