Heroes of the logistics industry
Let’s take a moment to pay tribute to the sung and unsung heroes of the logistics industry, mostly ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Our #wedeliverforyou campaign captures the magic behind the scenes of the intralogistics world and provides an insight into the future of material handling. You call the shots, we make it happen.
To address climate change, the world has to raise its ambition level, and reducing CO2 emissions is key. Consequently, there is a clear focus today on energy sources – and the logistics industry has an important role to play, as it is a major contributor in this area.
The automotive industry is already seeing a significant change, with a move towards electric and hybrid vehicles, and legislation will progressively push for lower carbon solutions. This is reflected in the growing use of electric vans in delivery networks.
However, behind the scenes in the logistics industry, electrification has been the norm for decades. Over 90% of warehouse vehicles are electrically powered, driven by ever-improving battery technologies. Lithium-ion batteries are recognised as the preferred technology due to their energy efficiency and reduced emissions and the industry is also working with hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative source of energy.
We are a major player in the European logistics industry, and we are following a multi-path strategy when it comes to energy sources. This means following the science of new battery chemistries and working with hydrogen as a type of fuel for electric and potentially internal combustion engines. The clear aim is to reduce emissions to the lowest possible level, whilst maintaining high performance. Toyota Material Handling also collaborates with suppliers of solar panels on renewable sources of energy.
The logistics industry is well placed to lead us into the future by limiting our reliance on fossil fuels for warehouses and factories thanks to innovating research and development in alternative energy solutions.
