LEAN & GREEN + PARTNERS

Plenary opening

The Summit began with the plenary opening. After the introduction of Adam Fields, the chairman of the day, we spoke with Jerome Berthelet (Managing Director of Renault Trucks Netherlands) about the theme of the day: ‘Loading the future…’ and electric vehicles. Following this, Program Manager Dirk van der Lee presented the updates on the Lean & Green International program. After a third Star presentation to E. van Wijk Logistics, together with Dragos Neascu (CEO GS1 Romania), the talk show started in cooperation with our partners. Different topics were discussed: digitalization and energy transition.

COOP SWITZERLAND

Hydrogen Truck Initiative

Coop is one of the founding members of the hydrogen truck initiative in Switzerland. The initiative created an ecosystem that enabled the successful introduction of hydrogen trucks in Switzerland. It is noteworthy that all required investments were born by the companies themselves and that no direct government funding or other public money was used to enable this project. It serves as a prime example of what can achieved when different market players and competitors work together towards a common goal and create synergies.

VARO ENERGY

Energy and decarbonization solutions for logistics and road transport

VARO Energy is partner of choice for customers in the energy transition by providing the sustainable and reliable energy solutions that they need to decarbonise, with locations in Switzerland (HQ), Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, providing energy with partners in other countries. Engine 1 includes manufacturing, storage, distribution, marketing, and trading of conventional energies. Engine 2 activities are focused on sustainable energies and include biofuels, biogas, green hydrogen, e-mobility, and nature-based carbon removals.

TOPSECTOR LOGISTICS

CO2 insightful, and now improve!

Understanding CO2 per shipment through carbon footprinting is becoming more common in the sector. The Topsector Logistics helps the sector to reduce emissions and increase logistics efficiency. A demo of the following topics is given based on practical cases:

  1. Are my emissions per shipment good compared to similar fellow companies? Check it with the Transport Performance Database.
  2. What causes high CO2 per shipment? Detailed insight into utilization of scarce time and capacity makes the causes clear.

RIETVELD

Video telematics

During the Lean & Green Summit 2023, Dietger Engel informed you in detail about the possibilities and practical examples. Here he used a customer case study that saves as much as 9 million euros in costs per year and thus significantly reduces their carbon footprint.

GS1 GERMANY

A cooperative solution for a lean supply chain

Even in a progressively digitized world, delivery note processes are still characterized by manual and paper-based procedures. Cloud4Log shows how things can be different. A community solution of GS1 Germany and Bundesvereinigung Logistik for the digital delivery note. During the presentation, you will experience the functionalities of the service live using a demo, gain insight into the practical implementation and learn how cooperation approaches can generate benefits for users.
