External logistics

OVERVIEW

Low carbon logistics

As part of our integrated sustainability strategy, each factory is North Europe is developing their own roadmap for low-carbon delivery of raw materials and final goods - in order to reduce their CO2 -emissions. 

Globally, Prysmian Group's usage of ground transportation in 2022 decreased with -5,8% while spending on sea transport increased with +70%.

OPTIMIZATION

GreenRouter Software

After a successful pilot project in Southern Europe that measured the supply chain's CO2-emissions in partnership with GreenRouter, this solution has won acceptance and is currently also used in North Europe.

GreenRouter offers a proprietary software solution that makes it possible to monitor each truck at delivery level, from factory to final destination. Simulations can be run to measure the impact of optimizations with regard to full truck loads, switching to less polluting fuels, mode of transport, routes etc.

The tool supports our logistics' departments in making energy and CO2 saving decisions.

NETHERLANDS

Electric crane truck

On June 9, 2022, an electric crane truck transported 8 heavy cable drums from Prysmian's factory in Delft to grid operator Stedin in Rotterdam. It was a unique transport because not a drop of diesel was used. 

The test delivery was the kickoff for a 3-year project (2022-2024) for heavy cable drum deliveries between 20 -25 tonnes. The project will also include the use of electric crane lift for all MV cable deliveries (2-8 tons) internally in the Netherlands.

The project is expected to save 6 tonnes of CO2  emissions annually.

SWEDEN

HVO90 bio-diesel

The vast majority of finished goods transported from Prysmian's factory in Nässjö (Sweden) to local customers is done using HVO90% bio-diesel.

This contributed to a significant climate saving compared to using standard diesel of:
 

  • 2,505 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2021
     
  • 3,236 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2022
