Eco-driving
Anticipatory, consistent driving saves up to 5 percent of fuel, reducing CO2 emissions – and it is more relaxed driving at the same speed. That's why Swiss Post trains employees who regularly sit behind the wheel in the environmentally friendly eco-driving style. There are refresher courses to ensure continued success. Swiss Post is also equipping its vans with on-board units that directly detect and automatically record journey and consumption data. More than half of all vehicles in Distribution have already been upgraded.
Swiss Post subcontracts a good part of its truck and van rounds out to third parties. With its 16 largest transport logistics partners, Swiss Post has been monitoring average fuel consumption since 2013. In 2014, 11 transporters succeeded in reducing fuel consumption: Swiss Post rewarded their commitment with an eco-bonus. Transport logistics partners reduced their CO2 emissions by a total of 320 tonnes in 2014.
