A Luft Logisticsis expanding its fleet of vehicles powered by CNG (compressed natural gas), already in operation in the Southeast region, to the Northeast. The initiative aims to serve a route that crosses the states of Paraíba and Pernambuco, connecting the cities of Campina Grande (PB) and Carpina (PE). The advancement is the result of a partnership between Luft Solutions, specialized in logistics for retail, and theEspadrilles, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability.
The partnership is an example of how companies can join forces to achieve common goals. Logistics partnerships require a special focus on ESG actions (Environmental, Social, and Governance). Joining forces with Luft, replacing diesel-powered vehicles with more sustainable alternatives, is important to reinforce the goal of reducing our pollutant emissions in our logistics operation, says Jayvison Amorim, Director of Logistics Operations at Alpargatas.
According to João Roldão, Transport Manager at Luft Solutions, the choice of the truck was strategic. "The model reduces CO₂ emissions in the atmosphere by 16%, offering 460 hp and a range of 650 km. This technology is important for reducing the carbon footprint over long distances, promoting cleaner and more efficient operations," he states.
ESG Certifications
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 earned 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 initiative aims to bring savings, efficiency, and above all, represents our commitment to a more sustainable future. With each step, we reinforce our environmental responsibility actions. We will continue implementing solutions that benefit the planet and future generations," says Gustavo Barbosa, Commercial Director of Luft Solutions.
