In June 2024, Expeditors in Brazil reached a significant milestone in sustainability by launching a regular 100% electric road transport operation for a specific customer's pick-up and deliveries. In partnership with a strategic customer who needed to comply with corporate gas emission guidelines, our specialists studied the customer’s logistics chain and identified an opportunity to help them achieve this goal.

As a daily operation, we replace a diesel vehicle, maintaining the same lead time but in a more sustainable way. We successfully met the customer’s expectations, significantly contributing to reducing their carbon footprint. At Expeditors, we create tailored plans for our clients, adapting to their specific needs and promoting innovative solutions.

At Expeditors, we go beyond mere environmental compliance. Our goal is to make a positive difference through our operational footprint and partnerships with customers and service providers. Sustainability is not only the right thing to do; it also enables us to make sound business decisions by being efficiency-oriented, highlighting potential risks and opportunities, and strengthening the lives of our employees, communities, and future workforce.

This fully electric road transport operation in Brazil is a testament to our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation. Through our actions, we not only improve our environmental performance but also demonstrate that it is possible to align ecological responsibilities with business success. At Expeditors, we are determined to continue this journey, creating a positive and lasting impact on the world.  The success of this operation serves as an example for the industry and reinforces our position as leaders in innovative and responsible logistics solutions.
