Our sustainable transport

1. Green Multimodal Solution

Our fully managed end-to-end multimodal transport solution has been proven to reduce carbon emissions by up to 84%. In Europe, using more freight rail is a great way to rapidly reduce greenhouse emissions and planing freight across modes such as ferries.

Our multimodal approach brings together the best of transport and technology so that clients benefit from a complete package of climate-first freight transport.

2. Green HGVs

Zeus Connect employs renewable diesel fuelled HGVs which use certified biofuels to emit significantly less carbon emissions. We have chosen the most low-impact and renewable fuel providers, to ensure the lowest well-to-wheel reductions possible.

Diesel engine HGVs with drop-in renewable diesel are available for any route across Europe or the UK. In addition, electric HGVs are available for drayage routes or short-haul lanes.

3. Optimised Freight Matching

For some clients in Europe, we offer a unique process by which we map routes and offer optimised freight matching, connecting transport needs to ensure trucks never run empty.

Our Connect platform gives full visibility to shippers across their supply chain. Everything is coordinated, optimised, and tracked by our freight management platform.

Emissions Accounting and Reporting

 

Our customers are working hard to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 3 emissions are increasingly in focus and European legislation now mandates Scope 3 reporting for large corporates under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

As a key logistics supplier, Zeus recognises the important role that we play in our customers’ Scope 3 activities. As such, we offer our customers an industry-leading freight emissions calculation and reporting service. This will enable you to not only track your freight emissions from Zeus-managed freight activities, but also to track the impact which Zeus sustainable freight solutions is having on reducing your Scope 3 emissions; typically an 80% reduction.

We use the latest industry standards and guidance for freight emissions calculation as laid out in the GLEC framework, ISO 14083 standard and Greenhouse Gas Protocol (Category 4 and Category 9: Upstream/Downstream transportation and distribution of goods).

Through our partnership with Pledge, we offer fully accredited* emissions calculations for all your shipments. Try our Emissions Calculator now to get an insight into how the technology works.

We can also extend our emissions reporting service to cover all of your Scope 3 freight activities, including non-Zeus lanes, provided the necessary input data is provided.

Who can use Zeus?

Zeus Connect is designed for high-volume, high-frequency shippers seeking to increase reliability and sustainability metrics for their ‘middle mile’ routes across Europe. We currently work with full truckloads and rail containers.

I have worked with freight forwarders in the past, so my expectations were probably a bit low. However, it seems different with Zeus, there's more of a partnership with your suppliers and audience. There seems to be a much better relationship with your hauliers.

Luke

Group Transport Manager

We made the decision to partner with Zeus because we had some challenges in Italy meeting our Delivery on Time KPI, which is a key KPI in our business. We’ve been working with Zeus for four months now and the Zeus team is very responsive, knowledgeable and communication with the team is very fluid.

Transport Manager Mainland Europe

AB inBev was the first Enterprise-level customer for Zeus back in March 2021. They have steadily grown the size of their work with us, so that now nearly all of the AB inBev produced beers – that’s Beck's, Corona, Leffe, Stella Artois – sold in London stores have been put there by Zeus.
