Driving sustainable transport through digitalisation: data as the key to success
The transition to sustainable mobility requires more than just electric vehicles and zero-emission city logistics. Many organisations face uncertainty and hesitation during this transition, leading to delayed decision-making. Unclear legislation, infrastructure concerns, or simply not knowing where to start often results in inaction. Concrete steps are only taken once regulations or market developments force them. But such hesitation is unnecessary. The shift to sustainable transport can be phased and manageable. The key to such a gradual transition lies in data and digitalisation.
Uncertainty slows the transition to sustainable mobility
Across the logistics chain, many companies struggle with a fragmented data landscape. Information about permitted routes, charging options, vehicle characteristics, and emission zones is often insufficient, poorly integrated, or not easily accessible. This not only hampers sustainable operations but also makes it harder to comply with stricter regulations such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), or the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
Digitalisation enables visibility and control
Digital platforms like Simacan help overcome this complexity. By combining real-time transport data, electric vehicle charge statuses, and emissions information, they provide a clear and up-to-date view of the supply chain. This allows organisations not only to report on their performance but also to actively steer toward sustainability and collaboration.
Thanks to smart standardisation and integration, the Simacan platform makes this possible across systems and organisational boundaries. This includes linking planning and onboard computer systems, incorporating emissions data into route planning, or simulating scenarios using digital twins to predict where charging stops will be needed.
From insight to impact
A future-proof logistics operation is not only visible but also controllable. With modules for monitoring, analysis, and steering, Simacan helps companies proactively intervene in case of deviations, intelligently plan charging needs, and organise transport operations in a way that complies with access regulations for emission zones, both in preparation and during execution.
Once data is no longer a barrier, sustainability becomes not an added burden, but a natural part of efficient operations. Only together can we pave the way for a sustainable future.
