Keeping logistics sustainable and cost-effective

In logistics, return journeys are a way to optimise efficiency and reduce costs. After completing a delivery, many vehicles in our industry return empty, which wastes valuable capacity and leads to unnecessary expenses. Through return journeys (or backhauls, as they’re also known), businesses can vastly improve the effectiveness of their logistics operations.

As well as reducing operational costs, return journeys significantly lower fuel consumption and play a key role in minimising a business’s carbon footprint. They also boost delivery efficiency by allowing vehicles to pick up additional loads on their return, improving scheduling flexibility.

Extracting more value from every mile driven

Given the environmental issues that the world is facing, modern logistics isn’t just about moving goods from A to B – it’s about maximising every opportunity along the way. At X2 (UK), we focus on turning every mile driven into a source of greater efficiency, sustainability and value for your business. Using advanced analytics and dynamic planning, we identify untapped potential in your supply chain, heightening the cost-effectiveness of every trip and making the entire process greener along with it.
