🎣 Winners & Losers of 2024
Plus: Universal bought Parsec amid layoffs, CA ports reported a record-breaking year, FedEx split off its LTL division, and more.
I picked 5 companies from the FreightTech 100 companies list that I believe have a great impact to support our sustainability goals.
5. CargoAi
It's all about booking airfreight, but I included them because of their partnership with the world's largest Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer, Neste. You can always purchase SAF for your cargo. While it won't be used on your specific flight, they ensure that no double counting occurs. They've also developed a simple way to track your emissions and stay informed about your airfreight’s CO2 transparency. It's not perfect, but it contributes. We are seeing similar offerings in the freight industry for clients to reduce their emissions.
4. Gatik
Autonomous driving is sustainable, especially in their Walmart case, with an autonomous electric vehicle driving from a supercenter to a pickup station.
Now, partnering with Isuzu to mass-produce SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicles. With shorter delivery distances, I believe electricity is the only way to go. This is perfect for shorter routes to keep a healthy battery life and a longer life cycle for the vehicle.
3.VesselBot
This solution makes the list for its ability to provide real-time GHG and accurate CO2 emissions data across all transportation modes. Utilizing primary data rather than averages. It enables companies to make informed decisions about reducing their Scope 3 transportation emissions. It also helps businesses stay compliant with sustainability regulations, which is critical for their long-term environmental strategy.
2. Kodiak
We're back to autonomous driving, but I genuinely like Kodiak's approach in that it can be adaptable to any vehicle and it can perform in any commercial environment due to its sensor pods.
1. Everstream analytics
Resilient supply chains are key to keeping your business afloat. Everstream tops the list for its innovative use of predictive analytics to keep your operations running by mitigating supply chain risks, reducing waste, minimizing emissions, and providing insights with real-time data to anticipate even environmental and operational disruptions. This makes it possible to avoid delays and reduce inefficiencies that lead to unnecessary fuel consumption. By the way, Google, Schneider Electric, and Unilever rely on Everstream Analytics.
Notable mentions: Einride, Veho, Parade, and Flock Freight.
