Beginning quarter three, HAVI and Scania plan to start implementing a five year roadmap aimed at making a significant carbon footprint reduction in transport operations to and from McDonald's restaurants in several European countries utilising Scania's Next Generation trucks and operating solutions.
The aim is to significantly reduce diesel powered vehicles and shift approximately 70 percent of HAVI's total truck fleet to alternative fuels, for example, gas and hybrid models, by 2021 within several European countries. The CO2 emissions in deliveries by HAVI to McDonald's restaurants utilising Scania's next generation trucks and operating solutions will be continuously monitored in real time, bringing existing fleet connectivity to the next level. This significant transformation of the fleet is expected to lead to CO2 reductions ranging from 15-40 percent for every km driven, depending on route, fuel and traffic conditions.
"Innovation is absolutely critical to our sustainability journey and to use our scale for good. Our work with companies like HAVI and Scania takes a proactive approach to finding and implementing more sustainable supply chain solutions, and contributes to our global supply chain and sustainability strategy," said Chris Yong, Global Logistics Director at McDonald's.
