Current situation – environmental impact

Before Trailblazer After Trailblazer

23.96 litres of fuel per ton goods 6.28 litres of fuel per ton goods

61 kg CO2 per ton goods 16 kg CO2 per ton goods (-74%)

However, in the public tender of the coordinated distribution, we also required increased use of biofuels. This was met by using trucks that are fuelled by RME and diesel with up to 30 % RES. So the actual effect is

95 % fossil fuel 5 % renewable fuel

19 % fossil fuel81 % renewable fuel

61 kg CO2 per ton goods 3.24 kg CO2 per ton goods (-95%)
