In Switzerland, Bertschi and Dow Inc., have initiated a pilot for sustainable transportation, from the Netherlands to Italy, combining intermodal rail and biofuel-engine trucks.
Bertschi said that it its continuously exploring strategies to enhance the sustainability of its door-to-door solutions. Bertschi added it currently operates 90% of all European land transport via intermodal rail transport, reducing its transports’ CO2 emissions by 230,000 tons annually.
Through the adoption of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for road transports in the supply chain, both Dow and Bertschi are advancing their environmental objectives.
“We are enthusiastic about the potential of HVO as a sustainable substitute for diesel during our first and last-mile road deliveries,” said Santiago Gonzalez, Managing Director for Bertschi Liquids at Bertschi. “This pilot program strongly affirms our dedication to environmentally responsible practices, significantly enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of our logistics operations,” he added.
