New Report Details How to Reduce Carbon Emissions by 22% in Global Supply Chain by Adopting a Freight Data Exchange Standard

The Coalition for Reimagined Mobility calls for global policy action, including defining how to share critical information among freight sector stakeholders as a condition for port access

LONDON, UK – News Direct – 28 June 2022 – The Coalition for Reimagined Mobility (ReMo), a global initiative created to shape policy and ideas for more equitable and sustainable movement of people and goods around the world, today released a report that details the impact of freight sector data sharing to improve the sustainability and reliability of the global supply chain.

The report includes new modeling from the International Transport Forum (ITF), which found that the adoption of an open freight data exchange standard would not only improve operational efficiencies across the supply chain, reducing the unprecedented level of goods stuck at global ports, it will also result in an estimated 22% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 and eliminate 2.5 billion barrels of oil per year.

Freight data exchange standards are open or freely available technical specifications that define how to share critical information to seamlessly facilitate global freight logistics. Standardizing the exchange of freight data will support a transition to widespread software-enabled communication forming the backbone of better stakeholder coordination across the global supply chain.

Clean Fuel and Electrification Are Not Enough to Decarbonize the Freight Sector

“We need a comprehensive plan of action to decarbonize our global freight sector,” said Mary Nichols, co-chair of the Coalition for Reimagined Mobility. “Business as usual is not an option. As we transition to increasingly lower carbon fuels, vessels and vehicles, we must also rapidly deploy technology solutions that will drive operational efficiencies – and critically needed climate benefits – across the global supply chain.”

ReMo partnered with the ITF to use its globally renowned freight emissions model to quantify emissions reductions that could be generated by data exchange to share logistical data in near real-time and streamline the supply chain. The impact is significant, including:

  • A reduction of sea freight emissions by 280 million tons of carbon per year and road freight emissions by 360 million tons of carbon per year;
  • Elimination of 2.5 billion barrels of oil per year; and
  • A 6-percent cost savings per ton-kilometer.


A Freight Data Exchange Standard Will Increase Freight System Resilience and Sustainability While Reducing Oil Dependence.

Digitalization of the freight sector has lagged as market and regulatory failures have created barriers to change. The time for action is now. The Coalition for Reimagined Mobility calls on policymakers to take the following steps immediately:

  • Require the use of freight data exchange standards as a condition for accessing ports.
  • Deploy freight data exchange standards that communicates near real-time operational data.
  • Allocate authority to national governments and ports to require the use of freight data exchange standards.
  • Allocate seed funding to ports and industry stakeholders to deploy data exchange standard pilots and projects.
  • Initiate and fund targeted intermodal exchange and smart steaming programs to realize near-term emissions reduction benefits.

“The world’s largest shippers and major supply chain players must work together to forge a new path to decarbonization and resilience by embracing digitalization and a globally accepted freight data exchange standard,” said Michael Hynekamp, COO, Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA. “We, alongside members of the Coalition, are committed to reimagining the freight system in collaboration with private and public organizations around the world. Digital transformation is the way towards our sustainable future.”

Excellent ECOVACS HOME App Experience: DEEBOT T10’s TrueMapping 2.0 uses onboard dToF sensors for more accurate positioning while allowing users to save the maps in 2D or 3D formats in the intuitive ECOVACS HOME App on their mobile devices. Users can switch from 2D to 3D maps for a more detailed view of their home. By learning and understanding the home environment, the maps create a more detailed home environment and accurately identify home structure, furniture, and ground materials. Users can also improve cleaning efficiency around and under the furniture using the 3D map.

Superior Cleaning Experience with 4-stage Deep Cleaning System
Powerful 4-Stage Cleaning System:
The Dual Side Brushes quickly collect ground dust and cover every inch of the house, while the floating main brush keeps the unit closer to the floor without damage and with a strong 3,000pa suction power. The overall design allows the robotic vacuum cleaners to adapt to different floor types during deep cleaning. The OZMO™ Pro 3.0 Oscillating Mopping System vibrates 600 times per minute to remove the most stubborn floor stains. It is ideal for dusty environments, removing pet hair, or for households where occupants are allergic to dust.

Clean well and smell good with Air Freshener Module: The DEEBOT T10 can refresh the air with its interchangeable module during vacuuming. Users can choose from three base Air Freshener Capsules — Wild Bluebell, Bergamot&Lavender, and Cucumber&Oak — and have a clean and fragrant home.

Compatible with Auto Empty Station (Sold individually): The DEEBOT T10 supports the Auto Empty Station, maximizing cleaning convenience and offering peace of mind. It empties all types of dust particles from the robotic vacuum cleaner, allowing it to work longer and harder. The 21kPa suction power sucks up all the dust from the unit and eliminates the need for the user to empty the on-unit dust collector manually. The station can hold the dust for up to 60 days, and the fully-sealed design and sealed dust bag ensure no accidental dust leakages. Users can also personalize when the robotic vacuum cleaner empties its collected dust.

Pricing and Availability
DEEBOT T10 is available today at the ECOVACS Authorized Distributor https://vietnamrobotics.vn/. The suggested retail price of DEEBOT T10 is 16.99M VND. A 25% discount is offered from June 28 (the Family Day) to July 19, making the DEEBOT T10, Auto Empty Station, and DEEBOT T10+ (bundled with Auto Empty Station) priced at 12.99 M VND, 4.99 M VND, and 17.69M VND respectively.
