Sustainability is a central issue when it comes to the transport and logistics sector. At Ponentia Logistics S.A. we are in constant debate about what is the key to improve efficiency, reduce costs and reduce CO₂ emissions.
The terminal is planned as a state-of-the-art industrial and logistics area that promotes the implementation of renewable and clean energies on the platform. In addition, it is committed to a sustainability strategy that reduces the environmental impact of industrial activity, through self-supply and self-generation of energy through natural, continuous and inexhaustible sources.
Rail is presented as the best option to reduce CO₂ emissions.
75% of our rail terminal routes are planned to be fully electrified. According to various studies, for every tonne of goods transported per kilometre, the truck emits approximately 128 grams of CO₂, while the railway emits 15 grams.
Rail transport is the most sustainable solution for transporting goods. According to our data and estimates, the Ponentia rail terminal, which will cover more than 13 million km per year, will help to save 1475 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year, thus making a commitment to the environment.
The transition from truck to rail is gaining momentum and will become more prevalent in the coming years. Investment in the locomotive industry is expected to produce cheaper and more flexible transport options for every part of the supply chain.
