Cargo Sign product owner Simonas Niedvaras and his #team, with the help of Lithuanian #logistics #provider cargoGO, ran the first #CO2 #calculation tests using #eCMR data. This test is unique because CO2 calculation is a #byproduct of eCMR prefilling. This means that whether machines or humans prefill the eCMR, #carbonemission are calculated automatically from the prefilling data. To ensure market-compliant tools, CargoSign equipped the eCMR with UNECE: Working Party on Regulatory Cooperation and Standardization Policies (WP.6) #standards developed by the EU Working Group SC.1. The #calculator is prototyped and awaiting accreditation following #GLEC and #ISO14083:2023 standards for #Scope3 CO2 #reporting. The tests revealed quite expected and relevant information. Below are the testing conditions and results: Testing Conditions: ✅ Twelve eCMRs (twelve trips) were prefilled. ✅ eCMRs were prefilled manually by a human. ✅ #Carbon #emissions were tested for the same #route with the same #truck. ✅ Since it was an ideal #roundtrip, no #empty #kilometers were performed (the CO2 calculator is capable of calculating CO2 emissions for #emptykilometers as well). ✅ The route was Germany-Italy (specific details are omitted to respect customer #business #disclosure rights). ✅ No #milkruns were performed; loads were considered #FTL (the calculator can also calculate and #split CO2 shares for separate #consignments). ✅ Three approaches were employed to calculate carbon emissions: #route #planner (Google Maps), #telematics, and eCMR with integrated CO2 calculator using telematics data. Testing Results: ❌ Two out of twelve calculations appeared to be faulty due to human prefill errors. ⚠ There were four human errors during the eCMR prefilling process. ✅ The approach using Google Maps as a route planner revealed 6.713% less CO2 emissions compared to primary data calculations. ✅ The eCMR calculation (based on GLEC and ISO standards) approach had a deviation of 1.079% less. ✅ Using #primarydata (telematics) revealed the #highest #carbon #emissions. ⚠ The loading address accuracy had a deviation of 6 kilometers due to a faulty postal code entered in the eCMR. ✅ eCMR and telematics calculations were performed with real #truck #odometer #readings. ✅ #Fuel #consumption was calculated based on #default #values from The International Council on Clean Transportation. The testing activities are performed in the frame of project activities related to the Lithuanian pilot in the ADMIRAL project. The #eCMR #tool is developed for better data retrieval and accuracy, notably with respect to CO2 calculation for #road #transportation and will be finalized until 2026.” More testing information is coming; follow us on LinkedIn.

I am diving deeper and deeper into #decarbonisation of #road #freight. Here is the short Cargo Sign post about the possibility to attend meeting with EU experts in the field. Meeting mainly addressed these topics: 👉 the urge of #transparency in #CO2 reporting (climate needs it now) 👉 the need of easy access of real (primary) #CO2 #emissions #data for #SME's 👉 the need of easy #reporting #methodology for SME's, because the current ones are complicated for non professionals (check CargoSign post below where two researchers & innovators Ieva Markucevičiūtė-Vinckė & me are proposing the solution) 👉 the need of easy and user friendly #carbon #emission #reporting #standard 👉 problems for #transparent and #green #logistic companies to report their true (primary data) since default data is acceptable 👉 and other topics
The Cargo Sign Product Owner Simonas Niedvaras was delighted to receive an invitation from Smart Freight Centre to attend the Transporeon Decarbonising Road Freight 2024 report, an opportunity for which we are immensely grateful. The report written by Wolfgang Lehmacher & Mikael Lind can be downloaded here > https://lnkd.in/g5VEzFiA The event brought together various leading experts to discuss the #challenges of #transport #decarbonisation, providing us with valuable insights and knowledge. One topic that particularly concerned CargoSign was how #SMEs can easily access and #report #CO2 #emission #primary #data. The ISO - International Organization for Standardization standard 14083:2023 can be quite complex, and currently, there is no agreed-upon calculation and reporting methodology in place. About a year ago, NORMALIS TECH and Cargo Sign came up with an idea to #calculate #carbon #emissions based on #freight trips. Both companies recognized the potential to retrieve primary data from the upcoming innovation of #eCMR, leaving a #carbon #emission #footprint on every eCMR after the trip. How can this be achieved? 👉 eCMR contains loading and unloading destinations (fields 3 and 4). 👉 eCMR provides #loading #factor data (m3 and kilograms) (fields 14 and 15). 👉 eCMR specifies #transport #mode and #fuel #type (field 25). 👉 eCMR can be connected to a truck's #board #computer to retrieve #odometer and #fuel #consumption #parameters. 👉 eCMR includes statuses that define the start and end of the journey (signature fields: 22, 23, 24). 👉 An additional field for the current #truck #location can be added to calculate #empty #miles to the loading location. 💻 The remaining task is for IT engineers to create the #calculation. This methodology is already compliant with the EcoTransIT World #calculator, which is based on the #GLEC #framework, a cornerstone in the development of ISO14083 standard. Therefore, eCMR possesses all the necessary components: #compliance, ease of #data #collection, #calculation, and #reporting.

Building the future solutions to accelerate the transition to zero emission transportation 🪫🔋
Sharing (existing) charging infrastructure is 🔑 ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ The European Parliament approved a mandatory target to reduce CO2 emission by 90% for new heavy duty vehicles by 2040. Pending formal approval by the European council. By 2030, new urban buses will need to reduce their emissions by 90% and become zero-emission vehicles by 2035. CO2 emissions from large trucks (including vocational vehicles, such as garbage trucks, tippers or concrete mixers), intercity buses and bus coaches will have to be reduced. - 45% between 2030-2034 - 65% between 2035-2039 - 90% as of 2040. Emissions reduction targets are also set for trailers (7.5%) and semi-trailers (10%), starting from 2030. Insufficient charging infrastructure is the largest bottleneck for EV adoption. We need to enable existing station owners to open up their existing infrastructure to the public (or private partners)! A win-win situation as it enables them to make a return on their investment. Can ChargePoint support you in this transition? Yes we can! Our software can help you to unlock the full potential of your existing or planned charging infrastructure. More charging possibilities result in an increase of electric trucks, buses, and vans on our roads 🛤 ⚡ Feel free to reach out for more information!

The tolling industry is shifting. Governments increasingly embrace road user charging (RUC) models to counteract declining fuel tax revenues driven by electrification, while also tackling pollution and congestion. Initially focused on heavy goods vehicles, RUC is gradually extending to passenger cars. While RUC is seen as a fairer system aligning costs with usage, it raises concerns about public acceptance, data security and privacy. In 2024, significant strides addressed these challenges with advanced technology and expertise: ➡️𝐆𝐍𝐒𝐒-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐔𝐂 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬: Authorities plan to introduce GNSS-based toll domains, with some advancing to market exploration and others to implementation. In Denmark, Be-Mobile’s Toll Control Center launched January 1, including all core and value-added components for a state-of-the-art GNSS system for Heavy Goods Vehicles. In India, Be-Mobile contributed to the PoC for GNSS tolling on NH-275 (Bangalore-Mysore), providing the National Highways Authority of India valuable insights to enhance traffic flow and upgrade systems. ➡️𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 (𝐌𝐋𝐅𝐅) 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: New MLFF tolling systems were implemented by the Netherlands and France. A standout was the A24/Blankenburg connection project, where automatic toll payments were enabled through apps like Flitsmeister & 4411. These milestones highlight growing adoption of advanced tolling and the critical role of collaboration between tech providers and authorities in shaping sustainable mobility. We believe 2 other trends will build on these advancements in 2025: ➡️𝐑𝐔𝐂 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐬: Declining fuel tax revenues, the growing impact of congestion on GDP and ambitious environmental goals will push authorities to explore RUC models in the years to come. ➡️𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: The shift to RUC creates new opportunities for service providers to integrate these systems with communities, delivering seamless tolling experiences for users. Be-Mobile is leading this evolution with tailored solutions: ✅𝐓𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: Integrates real-time toll cost calculation, monitoring, enforcement, and compliance tools. Simplifies RUC implementation for heavy goods vehicles and - in the future - passenger cars. Scalable for cross-border interoperability and new regulations. ✅𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: Insights from Denmark’s GNSS success and India’s Proof of Concept reduce operational costs and support modernization. ✅𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: User-friendly apps like Flitsmeister and 4411 boost transparency, convenience, and trust. While the platform also addresses privacy concerns tied to GNSS-based RUC. ⬇𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 Is RUC the equitable solution to infrastructure funding and environmental goals, or does it risk creating new barriers to mobility?
