The environment is a priority issue that sees us committed, to reducing CO2 emissions, with numerous investments such as the purchase of Eco Hybrid Truck, the updating of the fleet with new Euro 6 road tractors and the use of intermodal rail routes. The investments made so far have greatly improved the logistics phases.
We are also developing a project, with other companies, which goal is to develop an entire road network powered by hydrogen. This project has begun in 2018 and it is divided into more steps. First of all, we need a department of research and development about green energy. Hydrogen is a very sustainable element it has no emissions but to generate hydrogen we still need a lot of energy.
There are different ways to produce hydrogen but the more "green" for the moment is the electrolysis of water and also in this way energy consumption is very high. A key aspect of hydrogen production is cost. In general, the production of hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water has a cost typically between 4.8–7.2 $ / kgH2 and it is a very high range. After having hydrogen the most important thing is to have a distribution network on the road as normal fuel has today.
Play Haulier is committed to using hydrogen by 2035. For the moment we are investing in technological and electric/hybrid vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions.

A way to reduce emissions is by using intermodal transport. Our teams develop this tool to calculate and compare emissions of different transport ways.
The general formula is:
Ocean section: CO2 t/TEU = distance (kilometers) • fuel consumption / ship capacity (TEU) • load factor • maneuver factor • factor of hotelling • 3,17 • fuel laying factor
Road section: CO2 t/TEU = distance (kilometers) • truck consumption • load factor • 3,14 /2 • fuel laying factor
Railway section: CO2 t/TEU = distance (kilometers) • 10 • 0,028 • 0,4127 / 1.000
To calculate emission from a route, a tool called GIS is used to get the distance of each section of the supply chain. The optimal route is chosen in terms of the total cost of transportation using a Ford algorithm, which allows getting the minimum path between two points of the transportation network.
