Zero-emission logistics: Open Logistics Foundation establishes a new Working Group under the lead of LKW WALTER
Up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by freight transport and logistics. According to the International Transport Forum, demand for both sectors will triple by 2050. Logistics companies are, therefore, putting a lot of effort into sustainability and stricter legal requirements. In order to offer a cross-company solution for the industry, the Open Logistics Foundation has founded the Enabling Logistics Decarbonisation Working Group under the lead of LKW WALTER. The first project deals with an open source standard for exchanging emissions data.
