Freight facts and figures

ic01

ic02

HGV traffic in the UK was 16,9 billion miles! That's 2.5% less than the previous year, but still a substantial number.

ic03

Transport is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union, after the energy sector. Industry is only in 4th place.

ic04

Every 5th road freight journey in Europe travels with zero cargo, needlessly emitting CO2.

Make a change with Clicktrans

How does Clicktrans work? It connects people in need of transportation with transport providers who are already driving the same route and are able to transport your freight.

Your load doesn’t have to be shipped alone in a huge van. It can be added to loads that are already being transported by a courier.

This results in a reduction in CO2 emissions. Nowadays more than 1/4 of vehicles in the EU return without any load! You can help to change that.

This means that a transport provider will fully utilise his vehicle and you will pay less than you would hiring a transport company just for your load.

What can you do to make your delivery more eco-friendly?

•
Do online shopping mindfully - order things from abroad only when you really need them. Bear in mind that 1 parcel air-shipped from China (e.g. from one of the popular online shops) emits about 900 kg CO2.
•
Pack your loads using eco-friendly materials. None of the plastic items produced on Earth have decomposed yet. For example, it takes 400 to 1000 years for plastic bags to decompose. This means that the current generation is creating waste for at least 16 future ones.
•
Choose couriers that will take your load as an extra load
