Intermodal Taşımacılığın Çevresel Etkileri

As a single intermodal trip of Ekol from Turkey to France avoids traveling along 2.700 kilometer of road, the following savings are made:

• 864 liters of fuel
• 2268 kg of CO₂ emissions
• 5.8 kg of NO_x
• 0.08 kg of Particulate Matter (PM)

As of December 2016, Ekol has delivered 242.171 units making the use of intermodal forms of transportation. (January 2011 – December 2016)

The amount of carbon dioxide saved annually could be absorbed by 3.06 million trees, or a 7.650 hectares of forest land.

The Intermodal Transportation solution offered by Ekol Logistics is developed to provide an environment-friendly alternative. The utilization of this mode of transportation directs the majority of cargoes to maritime and railway transportation from the usual heavy lifter, road transportation. The fuel consumed and CO₂ emitted for each trip on sea and railway transportation are compared against the figures to occur had road transportation been used, and the savings achieved are reported.

The calculations to determine savings are based on the emission figures of trucks compliant with Euro 5 standards. Within this framework, the average fuel consumption figure for Ekol’s vehicles are 0.32 liters of diesel and 1.1 kg of CO₂ emission per kilometer covered with a full trailer.

The counter on the home page provides the reflection of instant amount in current year calculated in proportion to the previous years. Calculation method was confirmed under ISO 14064-1.

Saving (CO₂;Diesel) = Consumption in Road Freight (CO₂;Diesel) – Consumption in Intermodal (CO₂;Diesel)

  = (No of Trip _Int. x Trip Distance x Avg Consumption per km (CO₂;Diesel)) – (No of Trip _Int. x (CO₂;Diesel) For Each Trip)
