SustainMatrix for Logistics
Which lanes are truly efficient?
Track fleet fuel and warehouse energy, then compare lanes, vehicles and sites per tonne-km (one tonne moved one kilometre) and per pallet.
Explore the platformThe challenge
Fleet and warehouses, compared on the work they do.
Emissions depend on distance, load and vehicle mix, not just efficiency. Fuel totals alone reward doing less work, and warehouse energy is often reported apart from transport.
- Fleet fuel consumption and emissions
- Activity-normalised intensity: per tonne-km, per pallet
- Warehouse energy and facility comparison
- Lane and route efficiency
- Operational efficiency tracking
- Logistics emissions reporting
Indicators that matter
How logistics performance is measured.
Three numbers that matter most, each with what it measures and what it is read against.
0.071kgCO₂e
A tonne-km is one tonne of goods carried one kilometre.
31.4L
Fuel consumption by vehicle or fleet group.
2.8kWh
Warehouse energy use per pallet handled or stored.
- Read against
- Compared by lane, vehicle type and period, alongside load factors.
- Read against
- Read with load and route type, so heavier work is not mistaken for inefficiency.
- Read against
- Compared between sites with similar storage conditions, such as ambient or chilled.
Performance intelligence
Compare on work done, not fuel burned.
Fuel totals reward doing less work. Measuring per tonne-km and per pallet shows which lanes and sites are genuinely efficient.
ReadEach dot is one lane’s emissions per tonne-km. Lower is more efficient. Fuel used is shown on the right.
The busiest lane is not the worst.
Emissions per tonne-km for each lane, with total fuel alongside, so busy lanes are not penalised for doing more work.
The real priority is the lane with poor loads, not the one that burns the most fuel.
Tonne-km needs reliable weight and distance data for every trip.

Questions
Common questions from logistics teams.
What activity data is needed?
Fuel use, distance and tonnes carried for transport, and pallets handled or stored for warehouses. Where some data is missing, the method used is stated.
Can subcontracted transport be included?
Yes, as Scope 3, using carrier data where available and estimates where not, with each method labelled.
Are chilled and ambient sites compared together?
Comparisons are made between sites with similar storage conditions, and the basis of each comparison is shown.
