(93 % of our vehicles fulfill  EURO 6 norm) Decrease number of empty kilometers. Decrease fuel consumption. (We achieve this with the help of electronic traffic management systems TMS and subsequent analysis, including economic driving training. In 2022, we implemented a new advanced TMS system, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of meeting the stated goals.) Carry out tests of alternative engines and fuels, follow trends and new technical solutions for their future effective application in our transport services.

Continue with measurement of our carbon footprint (its absolute value and also value per one Euro of turnover) and also reach its annual decrease in the fields of direct and indirect emissions (Scope I, II) as we have managed since 2019.
