Mode shift and route optimization
Optimizing transportation modes and routes is a cornerstone of sustainable logistics. By analyzing your supply chain, AIT's experts identify opportunities to shift from higher-emissions modes, such as air freight, to more sustainable alternatives, like rail or sea freight.
Our advanced optimization techniques further reduce fuel consumption by determining the most efficient delivery routes.
These solutions not only support your sustainability goals but also deliver significant cost savings by cutting fuel usage and improving delivery efficiency.
Consolidation planning
AIT’s consolidation planning services are designed to maximize available capacity and minimize waste.
By combining multiple shipments into a single load, we reduce the number of trips required, cutting costs and emissions in the process.
This approach ensures your shipments reach their destinations efficiently, while improving overall sustainability and reducing your logistics expenses.
Alternative fuels
Promoting adoption of alternative fuels is a key element of AIT’s sustainable logistics solutions. In collaboration with customers, our team works with the world’s best-known carriers to procure access to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and sustainable marine fuel (SMF), derived from renewable resources that reduce emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels.
Likewise, road transportation powered by alternative fuels is available in many markets, including Amsterdam, where AIT’s local deliveries are handled by trucks using biodiesel. And regional cost parity for renewable diesel can make sustainable fuel an easy choice for customers shipping in certain areas, like California.
These options help our clients achieve sustainability goals, while navigating evolving regulatory requirements and minimizing environmental impact.
Electric vehicle services
AIT’s electric vehicle (EV) services provide low-emissions short- and long-haul transportation options in a growing number of markets.
EVs deliver significant environmental benefits, including zero tailpipe emissions, and they’re an increasingly economical solution thanks to falling energy and maintenance costs.
Whether moving goods 1,000+ miles between regions or making local deliveries in metropolitan areas, our EV services can help clients make meaningful progress toward their sustainability milestones.
Sustainable packaging solutions
AIT collaborates with clients to implement sustainable packaging solutions that reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. Available options include:
- Recyclable materials that reduce reliance on single-use plastics
- Reusable packaging systems designed for repeat shipments, offering long-term cost savings
- Optimized packaging designs that minimize material usage, while maintaining product integrity
By adopting sustainable packaging practices, clients reduce costs associated with excess materials and waste disposal while contributing to a more sustainable supply chain.
