Digital Catapult's pilot project demonstrated that collaboration and shared digital infrastructure in the logistics sector can significantly reduce carbon emissions and transport costs.
Utilizing distributed ledger technology and IoT devices, the trial achieved a 37% decrease in transport costs and a 9% improvement in vehicle fill rates.
Digital Catapult estimates that implementing similar solutions across the transport-logistics sector could lower carbon emissions by 15-30%, addressing the 31% share of UK transport emissions.
The logistics sector currently faces challenges, with 30% of trucks operating on UK roads carrying empty loads, highlighting the potential for efficiency improvements through technology.
