Luft Logistics CNG Fleet arrives in the Northeast 

A Luft Logistics It is expanding its fleet of vehicles powered by CNG (natural vehicular gas), already in operation in the Southeast region, to the Northeast. The initiative aims to meet a route that crosses the states of Paraíba and Pernambuco, connecting the cities of Campina Grande (PB) and Carpina (PE). The advance is the result of a partnership between Luft Solutions, which specializes in retail logistics, and espadrilles, strengthening the commitment to sustainability. 

Partnership is an example of how companies can join forces to achieve common goals. “Logistic partnerships demand a special focus on ESG actions (environment, social and governance). Joining efforts with Luft, replacing diesel-powered vehicles with more sustainable alternatives, is important to reinforce the goal of reducing our emission of pollutants in our logistics operation”, declares Jayvison Amorim, Alpargatas' Director of Logistics Operations. 

According to João Roldão, transport manager at Luft Solutions, the choice of truck was strategic. “ The model reduces CO₂ emissions by 16%, offering a power of 460 hp and a range of 650 km. This technology is important to reduce the carbon footprint in long distances, promoting cleaner and more efficient operations”, he says. 

Certifications in ESG 

This year, Luft Logistics received, in the United States, the CQCIT and CITGreen certifications, granted by the International Chamber of Industry and Transport (CIT). The company also won the 2030 Today seal, reaffirming its commitment to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the 2030 Agenda, which are the goals adopted by 193 countries at the UN (United Nations), focusing on the economic, social and environmental dimensions.  

Commitment to sustainability 

“This new action aims to bring economy, efficiency and, above all, represent our commitment to a more sustainable future. At each step, we reinforce our actions of environmental responsibility. We will continue to implement solutions that benefit the planet and the next generations”, says Gustavo Barbosa, commercial director of Luft Solutions.
