ORTEC is playing a key role in advancing sustainable logistics as a partner in the Zero Emission Corridor project, a collaborative initiative focused on building an emission-free transport network across one of Europe’s most important logistics regions.
From Ambition to Implementation
The initiative focuses on deploying electric heavy transport at scale, supported by smart charging infrastructure and integrated energy systems. This includes electric trucks, charging hubs, energy hubs, and battery storage to create a reliable logistics ecosystem.
ORTEC optimizes how transport and energy systems are planned and coordinated. By aligning transport schedules with energy availability, we help reduce inefficiencies and support more stable use of the energy grid.
Solving Critical Energy Challenges
One of the main challenges in zero-emission logistics is balancing energy demand without overloading the grid.
The project addresses this through coordinated logistics and energy planning. A central component is the Zero Emission Corridor Energy Management System (EMS), which manages energy supply for transport and surrounding facilities.
ORTEC contributes by enabling better planning decisions, helping ensure that energy is used where and when it is needed, while keeping operations reliable.
Scaling Zero-Emission Logistics
To move beyond pilot projects, solutions need to be practical, scalable, and economically viable. The Zero Emission Corridor project validates new technologies in real-world conditions and strengthens collaboration across sectors. This helps lower barriers to wider adoption.
ORTEC supports this by improving resource planning and operational efficiency, so organizations can reduce emissions while maintaining performance and cost control.
Collaboration That Drives Progress
The project highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration in addressing sustainability challenges. ORTEC works closely with partners and knowledge institutions to turn innovation into real-world impact.
The initiative is partly funded by Kansen voor West and the European Union, with a contribution of €50,242, supporting the development and scaling of zero-emission logistics solutions.
Building a Sustainable Logistics Future
Through its role in the Zero Emission Corridor project, ORTEC strengthens its focus on helping organizations make better planning decisions in complex environments.
By combining transport and energy planning, the project supports a logistics system that is more reliable, efficient, and sustainable - enabling operations to run with greater clarity and flow.
