We deeply care about our planet and are committed to playing our part in safeguarding the environment. This dedication aligns with national and European-wide efforts to make road transport more eco-friendly. In our journey toward sustainability, we've launched several initiatives aimed at reducing our carbon footprint.
One significant step we've taken is the gradual transition of our fleet to electric trucks. Recognizing the urgency of climate action, we aim to have 25% of our fleet powered by electricity by the end of 2025. This ambitious goal reflects our commitment to clean energy and reduced emissions, although we understand it's a considerable challenge that requires time and investment.
Furthermore, we've embraced technology's power to make a difference. By deploying sophisticated AI algorithms, we optimize the operations of our fleet, prioritizing the use of our low-emission trucks whenever possible. This optimization includes planning the most efficient routes and accurately determining the truck size needed for each move, based on the items our clients need to transport. This approach not only minimizes our environmental impact but also enhances our service efficiency.
However, it's important to acknowledge that our AI-driven planning isn't infallible and may not always predict the perfect fit for every move. We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate these challenges, striving to contribute positively to our planet's future.
Our initiatives resonate with the Dutch government's stringent regulations designed to cut road emissions and promote a greener environment. For example, the Netherlands has implemented the "Zero Emission Zones" (ZEZ) initiative, allowing only emission-free vehicles in certain urban areas by 2025. Additionally, the country has introduced subsidies for electric vehicles and is investing in expanding its EV charging infrastructure. These measures, among others, demonstrate a strong commitment to reducing the environmental impact of road transport, aligning with our company's values and actions.
Together, with your support, we can make a significant difference, ensuring a cleaner, more sustainable world for future generations. Thank you for joining us on this vital journey toward environmental responsibility.
