Calsina Carré Transports & Logistics

Vision

Driving the digitalisation of sustainable transport

At Calsina Carré, we continue to move forward in our commitment to innovation, sustainability and the digital transformation of transport. In this context, we have received funding through the 2024 Call of the Support Programme for Sustainable and Digital Transport – PATSYD to develop the project “Digital ecosystem for the management and traceability of Calsina Carré’s ITUs”, known as DIGICALUTI.

This project is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU and its main objective is to create a digital ecosystem based on the sensorisation of ITUs, enabling full traceability from origin to final destination. Through this initiative, we aim to integrate all stakeholders in the value chain and ensure comprehensive, reliable and efficient data capture.

By incorporating advanced technological solutions, DIGICALUTI will enable us to optimise the coordination, monitoring and management of ITUs throughout their entire life cycle. This digitalisation will help improve the use of logistics resources, anticipate demand, strengthen decision-making and significantly reduce the emissions associated with our operations.

One of the project’s main pillars is the promotion of intermodality. Looking ten years ahead, we expect 62% of Calsina Carré’s transport to be managed through intermodal modes, such as rail and maritime transport, in contrast to the current model, which is still predominantly based on road transport. This change represents a firm step towards a more efficient, competitive and environmentally responsible logistics model.

DIGICALUTI also foresees a substantial improvement in operational efficiency, thanks to the optimisation of route planning and ITU allocation. These improvements are expected to reduce delivery times by 20% and minimise operating costs.

In terms of sustainability, the project includes a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions through the incorporation of sensorisation systems and the strategic use of digital corridors. In this regard, a 30% reduction in the carbon footprint associated with transport is expected.

Furthermore, the comprehensive digitalisation of operational processes will allow us to centralise information through Business Intelligence platforms, generate key indicators and access high-quality data to improve decision-making. The implementation of a centralised management system will strengthen the traceability and connectivity of ITUs, reducing data management errors by up to 90%.

With DIGICALUTI, Calsina Carré is taking a further step in its digital transformation and sustainability strategy. We are committed to a more connected, efficient and responsible logistics model, capable of responding to the current challenges of the sector and actively contributing to the decarbonisation of transport.

Palets Calsina Carré

We have introduced a new automated pallet measurement system

At Calsina Carré, we continue to build on our commitment to innovation and the continuous improvement of our logistics processes with the introduction of a new automated pallet measurement system.

This new technological solution allows us to integrate weight verification, volumetric measurement using high-precision laser sensors, and photographic capture of each pallet into a single process, ensuring a reliable, consistent and fully traceable record of all goods.

Thanks to volumetric measurement technology using industrial laser sensors, the system is capable of accurately measuring even irregular loads, ensuring stable and consistent data that optimises logistics planning and pricing. Added to this is a certified weighing system and automatic photographic recording, which reinforce transparency and control in every operation.

For goods with special dimensions or non-standard volumes, the process is completed through manual measurements following a standardised internal procedure, ensuring operational continuity and traceability in all cases.

The implementation of this system forms part of our Technological Improvement Plan, aimed at building a more rigorous, controlled and scalable logistics system. A model that allows us to standardise data, record every movement accurately and prepare for future expansions and automation within our operational network.
This improvement translates into direct benefits for our customers, such as greater data accuracy, reduced discrepancies, optimised transport and more efficient control of operations.

We continue to incorporate technology to offer an increasingly reliable and transparent service, aligned with the needs of today’s transport sector.

Camión HVO de Calsina Carré

Why do we opt for the use of HVO?

The Ecological Way

 

As part of our firm commitment to sustainable environment, we have carried out many green initiatives to decarbonize the sector. We were pioneers in the implementation of intermodal transport; in the last five years we have managed to reduce our carbon footprint by 20%, saving an astonishing 41,898,563.63 kg of CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere. 

With this determination, we currently produce 0 emissions in all our facilities in Catalonia thanks to the use of green energy from renewable sources, and our photovoltaic panels installed at our headquarters generate more than 200,000 kWh per year, reducing our carbon footprint by 51,500 kg of CO2 eq.

With this determination, we are working to minimize our impact to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, following the European Green Pact promoted by the European Commission.

 

HVO, the green diesel revolution:

-90% emissions per trip

 

One of the fundamental challenges at a global level in recent years and in the near future is the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable sources, especially those with low or zero carbon emissions, the so-called clean energies. Among renewable fuels, HVO or hydrotreated vegetable oil stands out..

At Calsina Carré we are committed to the use of this renewable fuel to make our land transport more efficient. HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is produced from sustainable raw materials such as vegetable oils. Its use in transportation offers a viable and effective alternative to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90% per trip, without compromising the performance or efficiency of our vehicles. In fact, engines using HVO can achieve higher efficiency and suffer less wear, resulting in optimal performance and long life.

 

Together on the road to decarbonisation

 

In a world that increasingly demands clean and sustainable solutions, companies are looking to reduce their environmental impact and decarbonize the supply chain. The use of this renewable fuel on their routes is an opportunity to do so, and more and more corporations are backing this environmentally friendly transport method every day. We are delighted to be able to join forces with our clients to move towards more responsible practices and contribute to the development of a greener and more resilient economy.

Calsina Carré understands that every action counts on the road to a more sustainable future, and we will continue to increase our HVO network for the preservation of our environment and maximum efficiency in our logistics operations.
