Xtreme Freight’s Energy Efficient Approach
The following solutions were implemented into our organisation during 2014 with the aim of reducing energy cost and consumption. They were:
1) A New Warehouse Management System (WMS)
This resulted in a more efficient forklift workflow. As a result of this, the machines now require less charging and we reduced the number of charging stations from three to one. We saw an immediate reduction in the amount of power we consumed!
2) A New Transport Management System (TMS)
This means Xtreme Freight operates almost completely paperless. This system enables is to better use our vehicles through improved route planning and reporting.
3) Roof Replacement
We replaced roofing sheets with polycarbonate roofing panels, inviting in natural light during the day and as a result, removing the need of artificial light. We also replaced 84 halogen lighting tubes with LED – this is a huge energy saver.
4) A New Driver Training Program
This program, for both existing and new drivers, focuses on fuel efficiency through unnecessary braking, gear clutch use, and accurate route plans.
Outcomes:
The figures speak for themselves:
We save around $6000 per year on our energy bills
Our carbon footprint has shrunk from 12.3 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year to 5.7 (that’s a 53% decrease!)
The annual saving from reduced fuel consumption through our entire vehicular fleet was $87,500:
- Heavy Rigid vehicles: 25% decrease in fuel consumption; $50,000 saving
- Medium Rigid vehicles: 19% decrease in fuel consumption; $25,000 saving
- Van: 15% decrease in fuel consumption; $12,500 saving
