Route Optimization is the first step in realizing great service levels, cost efficiency, and reducing your carbon footprint. The second step is to find the right asset on the road.

Route Optimization, simply put, is the fewest kilometres in the shortest window. It’s about maximizing density—the fewest kilometres between stops. One or two additional kilometres between stops may not seem like much. Multiply those extra kilometres across thousands of stops and many vehicles, and suddenly, the carbon footprint has grown exponentially. Ziing’s optimization maximizes your density and minimizes your carbon footprint.

The right asset aligns the proper vehicles for the requirements to serve your customer. Many carriers, if not most, will utilize the assets available in their fleet. Using a cube van when a small passenger car is sufficient creates an unnecessarily larger carbon footprint and drives costs higher. Ziing’s Service Partner model utilizes the right asset to meet your economic needs and minimizes the subsequent carbon

The future will be powered by two equally important pathways: Clean power and clean fuels. Additionally, many regions will require a minimum percentage of vehicles to have zero emissions by 2026, increasing generally to 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. In other words, the transition is necessary.

EVs are clearly making their mark and are especially efficient with shorter, dense routes in smaller assets. Sometimes, we forget about alternative fuels, like hydrogen. Hydrogen is powering larger assets over longer routes and gaining traction.

*We are seeing market forces from several directions:

• Consumer awareness: More and more customers are concerned about the environment.
• Government regulation: CFR, LCFS, IRA, Zero Emissions Zones, Commercial Fleet Mandates, Compliance & Emissions Reporting
• Significant incentive programs for Climate Action & Cleantech—e.g., grants, tax rebates, carbon markets, and other funding initiatives generate economic feasibility.
• Increasingly more compelling economics for Zero Emissions Vehicles & Low-Carbon Fuels

Not every delivery can be performed with a Zero Emission Vehicle. What if your customer requires service in a timely manner that requires an asset that simply cannot be Zero Emissions?

Does this necessitate a heavier carbon footprint? Absolutely not.

Ziing can align your organization with reputable Carbon Offsets. By investing in Carbon Offsets, you can completely negate your once-necessary carbon footprint and still meet the required service levels for your customer.

Ziing is here to help you synchronize your service levels and reduce your carbon footprint.

Investing in clean technology is not purely an expensive experience. Government incentives can reduce the asset cost, and revenue opportunities exist in the form of Carbon Credits.

Any carrier can leverage government incentives to reduce the asset cost of a new EV, often at the point of purchase. Carbon Credits are where you turn your electrified fleet into an additional revenue stream.

When you own the charging network, such as having chargers at your facility, Ziing will develop your Carbon Credits and market them on your behalf, thereby creating annual revenue streams of Carbon Credit Income. Each Province and State has their own programs in addition to Federal Incentives, and Ziing can do the complex work for you. You get the reduced operating costs and brand recognition of a green fleet and also improve the return on your asset.

A green fleet and Carbon Credits epitomize a “win-win” situation for all involved.
