Volvo Insists on Green Business
14 September 2009
English.chinabuses.com: As part of a wider programme to reduce its carbon footprint Volvo Construction Equipment has targeted the reduction of ‘emergency’ orders shipped by air. Volvo Construction Equipment sends over 25,000 tonnes of spare parts around the world each year, and a project to manage global aftermarket parts distribution has, over the past five years, lead to a 30% reduction in the proportion of Volvo parts sent by air.
When dealer service levels increase, the need to ‘emergency’ ship by air decreases and more material can be sent using carbon-conservative transport methods, such as sea freight. The goal of Volvo is to support sustainability to the greatest extent possible and to work with its customers to raise the bar in green supply chain.
