Sustainable Transport options for Trucking Companies in Canada

 

Companies in the transport and logistics sector are experiencing a shift towards greener and more environment-friendly technologies. Thus sustainability has become the buzzword with different new and alternative options emerging for various functionalities of transportation. Ajit Transport Inc which is one of the best trucking companies in Canada is taking note of these developments and is also planning to adopt them in the future.



Some examples of sustainable technologies in the trucking industry are electric vehicles and alternate fuel vehicles. Electric Vehicles are those that run on electricity. These are battery-operated and run a certain distance once fully charged. Similarly, other types of fuels are also used for transport such as biofuels, natural gas, and hydrogen. These new changes would help the trucking industry reduce its carbon footprint, which has been one of its major drawbacks.

 

Biofuels and natural gas might have small traces of carbon footprint, but they are given priority as they are renewable sources of fuel. Hydrogen fuel on the other hand is a comparatively new technology that is in its nascent stage. This type of fuel is the best as it has the least carbon footprint. Depending upon the method of manufacture hydrogen is color coded to blue, green, pink, etc grade hydrogen fuel. Green hydrogen is the most preferred fuel for minimizing carbon emission. The trucks that run on green hydrogen have a fuel cell-based engine that converts the latent chemical energy of Hydrogen to electrical energy and then electrical energy to mechanical energy, causing the motion of the truck.



As a technology, Hydrogen based vehicles are costlier than the less sustainable options. But in the future, they are slated to be the most favored technology. This is because the supply chain mechanism of Hydrogen fuel is yet to evolve to the proportions that petroleum has evolved. The current system is highly in favor of fossil fuel-based transportation technologies. But all of this is expected to change when greater emphasis is going to be given to greener alternatives by governments internationally to tackle climate change.

 

All the top road transport companies in Canada are keenly observing sustainable technology trends. Customers are also becoming more and more aware and are opting for companies that use such technologies. Ajit Transport Inc is not only sensitive toward sustainability but also is on the lookout for skilled professionals who are adept at using these new technologies. It is our commitment to a global cause that motivates our long-term vision.

Efficiency in the delivery of shipment is of paramount importance for transport and logistics companies. This includes delivering the shipment not only on time but also in good condition. Inefficiencies can creep up due to several impediments to the delivery process. Identifying these impediments and finding their solution is the key to increasing your delivery efficiency. In this blog, we are going to talk about the steps you can take to improve your delivery efficiency. They are as follows: 1.   Measure the data for key metrics Maintaining a statistical approach to service delivery is key to improving its efficiency. Such data may be maintained for a specific time such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc. This data will point out the necessity for innovation in the delivery process. Some of the parameters for which these data need to be measured are – the number of timely deliveries, average time per delivery, the average cost per delivery, the net number of deliveries, and driver eff
