 Project objective

Several studies have shown that up to 50% of road freight trucks drive empty or partially empty, and depending on sector and geography, these numbers can be higher. According to EU, this leads to an economical waste of €160 billion per year. The above worsens more the situation of the European road transport which must also face the low prices and operating margins and the demand of shippers (parties that order transportation services) for higher efficiency through shorter lead times and 24/7 delivery, which results to even more empty truck kilometres, pointless emission of pollutants and extra traffic congestion. For that reason, Logistic Services Providers (LSPs) are actively looking for ways to optimize efficiency and their lowering costs.

WeShare platform introduces a collaboration model supported by an adaptable Transportation Management Systems (TMS) that allows LSPs share its data in order to perform cross optimization of riding and loading operations among shippers, ensuring their optimal trucks’ use without compromising their data. We achieve: 1) Savings of 2.5% and 7.5% of average cost index for LSPs and shippers respectively, 2) Reduction up to 87.5 million road freight km translated to a cost reduction of up to 67.500 tons of CO2 emissions.
