Mercadona and Renfe - Intermodal Collaboration Distribution Mercadona, with Acotral and Renfe, developed a plan to promote sustainable transportation in Spain, and signed a contract with Acotral and Renfe for them to transport non-fresh food and non-food goods. The contract specified that Renfe had to provide eight trains a week from Sevilla to Tarragona and from Sevilla and Valencia in a round trip. This new route connects suppliers' warehouses in the south of Spain with Mercadona Distribution Centres in the east coast. This solution enabled Mercadona to reduce CO2 emissions by over 12,000 tonnes due to the number of its truck deliveries being reduced by up to 9,152. |

Mapei - Optimising goods collection cycle time MAPEI, a global leader in chemical products for the building industry, has shown particularly rapid growth over the last 10 years. Increased production at the company's plant at Mediglia (Italy), has created serious truck traffic congestion at and around the plant, with associated environmental and safety impacts. To meet the demands of an increased number of customers and to ensure rapid deliveries, efficient just-in-time logistics processes have been implemented, by optimising the cycle time for the loading of consignments at the factory. |
