The transport sector represents 15% of the world’s CO2 emissions and 35% of global emissions in cities. TNT, a leading express parcel delivery company established in 2007 the "Planet Me" program, to reduce the impacts of its activities on climate change.
The "Planet Me" program consists of three components:
- Count carbon: carbon footprint, communications, ideas for solutions
- Code Orange: identification of concrete commitments and actions on different sites (aircraft, vehicles, buildings, investments ...)
- Choose orange incentive to behave responsibly employees, organizational challenges
Deliveries of parcels in town, although it represents only a small part of the group's activities, are particularly expensive ecologically as well as economically (ex: noise, frequent stops, fuel consumption).
In France, TNT Express is developing an innovative carbon-neutral solution, in partnership with Becycle. After testing deliveries by bike on a smaller scale in the city of St. Etienne, the company uses an innovative electric scooter: the mechanical force of the pedals can recharge a lithium battery, which provides assistance that can propel the electric vehicle up to 25km/h. The advantages of this mode of transport are numerous:
- Ease of travel and parking near the place of delivery saves time (transport, delivery): saving time and money.
- Less noise pollution and no CO2 emissions.
- Visibility and advertising company with a logo on TNT scooter.
The project is multiplying: after Lyon (Becycle franchises), implementation of new generation scooters in Grenoble, Nancy, Dijon and Paris.
