Real-Time Visibility in 2026: The Emissions Your Route Plan Cannot See
Sep 24, 2026
Refrigeration burns fuel by the hour, but every published emission factor charges it by the kilometre. Modelling two chilled operations found the same uplift understating one by 70% and overstating the other by 28%.

EV Fleet Utilisation in 2026: Why a 20% Electric Fleet Does Not Electrify 20% of Miles
Sep 24, 2026
Electrified mileage share is decided by dispatch, not procurement. Modelling two depot archetypes shows the same 20% electric fleet delivering 12.2% or 25.9% of kilometres, and a regional operation stuck at an 8.5% ceiling however many vehicles it buys.

Route Optimisation Emission Factors in 2026: Why the Factor You Choose Moves the Number More Than the Route You Plan
Sep 24, 2026
Applying UK government conversion factors to one identical distribution operation produces reported emissions ranging across 69%, depending only on legitimate methodology choices. Route optimisation moves the same number by around 21%.

Modal Shift Emissions in 2026: Why the Break-Even Lane is Shorter Than You Think
Sep 24, 2026
Using UK government conversion factors, the lane distance at which shifting freight to rail starts cutting emissions is roughly one to two times the drayage distance, a lower bar than a minimum-distance rule written for cost and transit time.

Route Optimisation Emissions in 2026: Why Efficiency is a Stock, Not a Rate
Sep 24, 2026
Routing headroom is finite and measurable. Modelling puts it near 21%, which holds absolute emissions flat only up to about 4% annual growth, and extracting it faster does not help because the stock binds rather than the rate.
