Zero Emissions Day: 21 September 2023
The day when we reflect on the steps we are taking towards a more sustainable future.
Zero-emissieday
Every year, we celebrate Zero Emissions Day, a day when we reflect on the steps we are taking towards a more sustainable future. It is a day when we reflect on our current habits and think about how we can reduce our carbon footprint. And this year, it is all the more relevant for entrepreneurs like you. Because, if you regularly make deliveries in city centres, important changes are on the horizon soon.
Zero emission urban logistics from 1-1-2025
From 1 January 2025, municipalities may designate an urban area where no polluting vans or trucks are allowed to drive. These are vehicles that run on petrol or diesel. So-called zero emission zones will become the standard in 30 to 40 city centres. In zero emission zones, you will only be allowed to drive your van or truck if it does not emit pollutants. Although the 1 January 2025 date does not yet apply to all vehicles, many organisations will not escape this measure. Electric driving is then one of the solutions. Municipalities want to reduce CO2 emissions in cities with these new rules.
Free Zero Emission Zone Check offers clarity to organisations
In honour of Zero Emission Day, RouteLogic has decided to make its Zero Emission Zone Check, originally developed for customers, free and publicly available. This check allows organisations to gain insight into how far the new zero emission zones will impact their logistics operation.
Using it is simple: you upload your addresses and the tool then calculates what percentage of these addresses are in a zero emission zone. This way, you as an organisation get an accurate estimate of what percentage of your addresses will soon be in a zero emission zone. Take advantage of this free opportunity today and prepare yourself for a more sustainable future!
