Company Description
Van den Bosch is an international logistics service provider located in Erp, The Netherlands. They aim to drive sustainable and reliable change in the supply chain through intelligence and innovation. More than 80% of all their transport is performed by means of intermodal transport. They believe that logistics is not just about transport, but also about data, insights and know-how. They are constantly trying to drive change within the sector, which is why they are known as “The Supply Changer in Bulk”.
Project Description
We are investigating the possibilities to use electric trucks. The weight of an electric truck is higher than the weight of a diesel truck. Each country has its own maximum allowed weight. In the Netherlands the maximum allowed weight is higher than in other West-European countries. We would like to investigate the impact on the planning in case the electric trucks are only allowed to drive in the Netherlands.
Goals of the project
Investigate the impact on the planning in case we are going to use electric trucks that are only allowed to drive in the Netherlands.
Deliverables
Impact in extra distance and driving hours for several scenarios, in which we are using several number of electric trucks, that are only allowed to drive in the Netherlands, in the planning.
