Logivity helps transport buyers and carriers measure, optimize and transform transport flows as well as minimize related emissions. – We believe in simplicity. Improvements are about digitizing, creating transparency, measuring and making wise decisions based on actual insights, says Jessica Öhrblad, CEO of Logivity.
Logivity was born as an innovative idea within the Volvo Group to optimize the company’s own logistics operations. This according to the Group’s overall ambition to drive increased sustainability in the transport industry. Now, Logivity is an independent company, open to collaboration with all transport-buying companies in all industries. Logivity offers, among other things, capacity and emissions measurement, with the long-term goal of filling unused spaces on existing routes and using verified emissions metrics at parcel level.
– “Today, the transport utilization rate is about 50% globally across modes, while emissions from the transport industry account for about 20-25% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Given this, increasing the utilization rate has a very positive effect on both cost and the environment,” says Jessica Öhrblad.
It is easy to integrate existing systems with the various Logivity services. Customers control their own data and can share it securely. With the help of the company’s platform, transport buyers and carriers can create a communication that provides transparency and understanding for actual factors like, which actors, emissions, costs and more being involved.
– “For example, we have an auction site where you can say: Okay, this transport produces these emissions and gives this cost. Then I choose that transport, because it is most favorable, for my conditions and my assignment. We also have visibility services where you can follow how my transport is moving, linked to visibility into emissions,” says Jessica Öhrblad.
Historically, transport has been relatively cheap, and the total environmental impact has not been factored into pricing. The indirect cost that transport has on society has thus been rather overlooked. But new laws and regulations increase the pressure on the transport industry to contribute to reduced emissions. Such a regulatory framework exists, for example, in Fit for 55, the EU’s legislative package for climate legislation with the goal of achieving a 55 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. At the same time, it is estimated that the number of transports will double in the coming decades.
– “When the need for consumption does not decrease, the need for transport does not decrease. And since there is no infrastructure, vehicles or anything else to support that increase, the utilization rate of existing transport must be used in a better way – for both the balance sheet and the planet,” says Jessica Öhrblad.
