How does Transroad measure its environmental impact?
We track CO₂ emissions per tonne-kilometre across every active corridor using our ISO 14001-aligned environmental management system. Fleet telemetry feeds a centralised dashboard that calculates well-to-wheel emissions by fuel type, load factor and route distance. Annual performance is benchmarked against the prior year, and the methodology is reviewed each January to incorporate updated GLEC emission factors.
What is Transroad's fleet modernisation strategy?
Our fleet renewal programme targets full Euro VI compliance across all operational vehicles. Currently 100% of Transroad-dispatched vehicles meet Euro VI standards, ensuring LEZ compliance across all European zones. We prioritise fuel-efficient routing on our highest-volume corridors — Spain–Germany, Spain–France and Spain–Italy — so each operational improvement delivers the largest emission reduction per unit of capital invested.
How does Transroad achieve high trailer fill rates?
Our load-planning algorithms analyse shipment dimensions, weight constraints and corridor schedules to consolidate LTL and groupage freight into optimised loads. The result is a consistently high average trailer fill rate, which reduces the number of trips required and directly lowers per-shipment emissions. Backhaul matching across our 26-country network further minimises empty running.
What does 'respect' mean as a Transroad business value?
Respect means fair treatment of every person in our supply chain. Drivers operate modern Euro VI vehicles with consistent schedules and competitive compensation. Partners benefit from transparent payment terms with no post-booking adjustments. We invest in route optimisation that reduces time on the road, directly improving driver welfare while cutting emissions — a principle we call 'respect through engineering.'
How does Transroad ensure fair and transparent pricing?
We issue freight quotes within 15 minutes during working hours that include all corridor-specific costs — fuel, tolls, handling and customs where applicable. There are no hidden surcharges or post-booking adjustments. Pricing covers groupage, LTL, partial load and FTL options with published transit times per corridor. We believe transparent pricing builds long-term partnerships, not transactional relationships.
What are Transroad's sustainability targets for 2030?
By 2030 we aim for a 25% reduction in CO₂ emissions per tonne-kilometre versus our 2023 baseline, 100% Euro VI fleet across all dispatched vehicles (already achieved), 90% paperless documentation by 2027, a consistently high average trailer fill rate, and a 30% reduction in empty kilometres through corridor-level backhaul optimisation. Progress is published annually on this page.
Does Transroad hold environmental certifications?
Yes. Transroad holds ISO 14001 environmental management certification, ISO 9001 quality management certification, and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certification. Our fleet meets Euro VI emission standards. We participate in green-freight industry initiatives across our active EU markets and publish verified performance metrics including CO₂ per tonne-kilometre, trailer fill rates and paperless-operations ratios.
How does Transroad reduce empty kilometres?
Empty running is attacked at three levels: corridor-level planning matches outbound and return freight across our 26-country European network; load consolidation combines LTL and groupage shipments to fill trailers before dispatch; and dynamic reallocation shifts available capacity to corridors with demand spikes. Together these measures maintain an empty-running rate well below the European industry average of approximately 25%.
How does Transroad ensure fair treatment across its supply chain?
Every carrier and subcontractor in our network signs a Supplier Code of Conduct covering fair pay, maximum driving hours, and rest facility standards. We audit compliance quarterly through a combination of telemetry checks and physical spot inspections. Non-compliant partners enter a 90-day remediation programme; persistent violations result in network removal.
What are Transroad's carbon reduction targets for 2030?
We are committed to a 45% reduction in CO₂ emissions per tonne-kilometre by 2030, measured against our 2020 baseline. Progress is tracked via ISO 14064-verified annual carbon audits. Key levers include fleet electrification on short-haul corridors, intermodal rail integration for distances above 800 km, and algorithmic load consolidation to maintain trailer fill rates above 92%.
What programmes does Transroad have for driver welfare?
Our Driver Respect Programme mandates minimum rest standards that exceed EU Regulation 561/2006 requirements by 15%. We fund secure parking facilities on high-volume corridors, provide access to telehealth services for drivers in our network, and publish an annual Driver Welfare Report with third-party verification. In 2025, 94% of surveyed partner drivers rated working conditions as 'good' or 'excellent'.
Does Transroad publish sustainability reports?
Yes. We publish an annual Sustainability & Impact Report aligned with GRI Standards (Core option) and the UN Global Compact Communication on Progress framework. The report covers environmental metrics, social impact indicators, and governance practices. It is independently assured by a third-party auditor and available for download on our website within Q1 of each reporting year.
How does Transroad guarantee pricing transparency across European corridors?
We issue all-inclusive LDM quotes within 15 minutes during working hours. Every quote itemizes fuel, tolls, and handling charges with no hidden surcharges or post-booking adjustments. Published transit times per corridor give shippers full visibility before commitment. This transparency builds long-term partnerships rather than transactional relationships.
What specific programmes does Transroad run for driver welfare beyond legal requirements?
Our Driver Respect Programme exceeds EU Regulation 561/2006 rest requirements by 15%. We provide secure parking facilities on high-volume corridors, telehealth access for all network drivers, and publish an annual Driver Welfare Report with third-party verification. In our 2025 partner driver survey, 94% rated working conditions as 'good' or 'excellent'.
How are Transroad's sustainability claims independently verified?
We undergo ISO 14064-verified annual carbon audits and report according to GRI Standards (Core option). Our sustainability framework aligns with the UN Global Compact Communication on Progress requirements. Third-party auditor assurance is published in Q1 of each reporting year, covering environmental metrics, social indicators, and governance practices.
How does Transroad use backhaul optimisation to reduce emissions?
We apply a three-level approach: corridor-level planning matches outbound and return freight across our 26-country network; LTL and groupage consolidation fills trailers before dispatch; and dynamic reallocation shifts capacity to corridors with demand spikes. This maintains our empty-running rate below the European industry average of approximately 25%.
What standards must Transroad's carrier partners meet?
Every carrier and subcontractor signs our Supplier Code of Conduct covering fair pay, maximum driving hours, and rest facility standards. We audit compliance quarterly through telemetry checks and physical spot inspections. Non-compliant partners enter a 90-day remediation programme; persistent violations result in network removal.
How often does Transroad audit its environmental and social performance?
Environmental performance is assessed through annual ISO 14001 recertification plus quarterly internal KPI reviews. Social compliance undergoes quarterly carrier audits combining telemetry and physical inspections. Financial sustainability reporting receives annual third-party assurance. Our methodology is reviewed each January to incorporate updated GLEC emission factors.
