GEODIS

GEODIS has made a strategic investment in an acquisition of twelve additional environmentally efficient road vehicles, following recent changes in Spanish legislation that liberalizes the use of Euro-modular duotrailers on designated routes.

GEODIS is investing in twelve new trailer and tractor units, bringing the total operated by its European Road Network activity in Spain to eighteen. The strategy further reinforces GEODIS’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and operational excellence in the Spanish market.

The new tractor units have a power rating of 640HP; powerful enough to haul two duotrailers measuring a total length of thirty-two meters and carrying a cargo payload of up to seventy-two tonnes.  The net reduction in CO₂ emissions in comparison with the equivalent traditional trailer units as a result is over 30%.  GEODIS will deploy these duotrailers to service clients in the paper, steel and automotive industries, as it is within these sectors primarily that a growing demand for high-capacity transport has been identifies. The benefits from an environmental sustainable viewpoint are significant.

Commenting on the introduction of the new trailers to GEODIS fleet in Spain, Marc Vollet, EVP European Road Network activity at GEODIS said, ”In addition to the welcome beneficial impact to the environment of their use, with significant CO₂ emission reductions, the duotrailer allows increased productivity, with one tractor and one driver hauling two semi-trailers” Marc Vollet added, “The cost optimization and improved operational efficiency achieved will bring great benefits to our Spanish customers.”

Following the October 21^st resolution by Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) it is now allowed to operate duotrailers without prior authorization, provided they meet specific technical requirements and remain within a defined road network.  GEODIS’s operation of the trailers will, of course comply and also ensure they are equipped with safety features such as pneumatic suspension; blind spot detection and lane-keeping systems; emergency braking and electronic stability control.

GEODIS impulsa la sostenibilidad con una nueva inversión en duotrailers en España

GEODIS ha realizado una inversión estratégica con la adquisición de doce vehículos de carretera adicionales, eficientes desde el punto de vista medioambiental, tras los recientes cambios en la legislación española que liberalizan el uso de duotrailers euromodulares en rutas designadas.

GEODIS está incorporando doce nuevas unidades de tractores y remolques, lo que eleva a dieciocho el total operado por su actividad de Red de Carretera Europea en España. Esta estrategia refuerza el compromiso de GEODIS con la innovación, la sostenibilidad y la excelencia operativa en el mercado español.

Las nuevas unidades tractoras cuentan con una potencia de 640 CV, suficiente para arrastrar dos duotrailers con una longitud total de treinta y dos metros y una carga útil de hasta setenta y dos toneladas. La reducción neta de emisiones de CO₂ en comparación con las unidades tradicionales equivalentes supera el 30%. GEODIS desplegará estos duotrailers para atender a clientes de las industrias papelera, siderúrgica y automotriz, sectores en los que se ha identificado una creciente demanda de transporte de gran capacidad. Los beneficios desde el punto de vista medioambiental son significativos.

Comentando la incorporación de los nuevos remolques a la flota de GEODIS en España, Marc Vollet, EVP de la actividad Red de Carretera Europea en GEODIS, declaró: “Además del impacto positivo para el medio ambiente gracias a la reducción significativa de emisiones de CO₂, el duotrailer permite aumentar la productividad, con un solo tractor y un solo conductor transportando dos semirremolques”.

Marc Vollet añadió: “La optimización de costes y la mejora en la eficiencia operativa logradas aportarán grandes beneficios a nuestros clientes en España”.

Tras la resolución del 21 de octubre de la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), ahora se permite operar duotrailers sin autorización previa, siempre que cumplan requisitos técnicos específicos y circulen dentro de una red viaria definida. La operación de GEODIS cumplirá con estas condiciones y garantizará que los vehículos estén equipados con sistemas de seguridad como suspensión neumática, detección de ángulo muerto, sistemas de mantenimiento de carril, frenado de emergencia y control electrónico de estabilidad.

On December 8, 2025, GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, and EDF announce the signing of a partnership aimed at decarbonizing the supply chain in France and internationally.

The purpose of this partnership is, on the one hand, to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of GEODIS’ warehouses and transport flows worldwide, and on the other hand, to examine the conditions under which GEODIS could provide logistics services on behalf of the EDF Group in the main countries where it operates.

As part of this agreement, the two groups will explore solutions focused on:

• Low-carbon energy supply for GEODIS sites in France and abroad;
• Optimization of energy performance in GEODIS’ logistics facilities: audits, consumption optimization plans, and innovative solutions such as heat recovery;
• Local production of renewable energy at GEODIS sites, notably through the installation of solar panels on warehouse roofs and the development of solar carports;
• Deployment of charging infrastructure for GEODIS’ light vehicles, utility vehicles, and heavy trucks, as well as those of its subcontractors, to accelerate the overall electrification of the logistics ecosystem;
• Enhancement of GEODIS’ land assets, including studies on the potential transformation of certain sites into data centers.

Finally, EDF and GEODIS will assess how GEODIS could provide logistics services such as procurement, storage, and distribution of materials and equipment for energy production projects.

The first Strategic Steering Committee will be held in the coming days to ensure effective monitoring of the agreement and related projects.

For topics within their scope of expertise and activities, EDF Group subsidiaries such as Izivia and EDF Power Solutions will engage in discussions with GEODIS.

Marie-Christine Lombard, Chairwoman of the GEODIS Executive Board, stated:
“The signing of this agreement marks a decisive step for our Group and is fully aligned with our decarbonization roadmap. This partnership allows us to put our expertise at the service of EDF while opening new development opportunities for GEODIS. It reflects the determination of two French leaders to join forces and take concrete, sustainable action for the environment.”

Marc Benayoun, EDF Group Executive Director in charge of the Customers, Services & Territories Division, added:
“As the logistics sector accounts for 16% of CO₂ emissions in France, its decarbonization is a critical challenge. This partnership demonstrates EDF Group’s ability to support GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, with a comprehensive range of solutions to improve its carbon footprint.”

GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, has announced the launch of the region’s first cross-border trucking operation to be powered by Neste MY Renewable Diesel™, marking a major milestone in the decarbonization of its regional road network.

The pilot features a dedicated Euro-5 truck travelling from Singapore to the Thailand-Malaysia border using renewable diesel supplied by Neste, the world’s leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. Interion, a Singapore-based fuel solutions provider, will enable the fuel distribution and delivery for the pilot operations.

Renewable diesel, also known as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), is produced from 100% renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste. The use of Neste’s renewable diesel, enables up to 90% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to using  conventional diesel across the lifecycle of the fuel. A drop-in fuel, renewable diesel can be used  in existing diesel engines without any modification and offers an immediate and scalable pathway for lowering transport GHG emissions across operational fleets.

Conducted in collaboration with Neste and Interion, the pilot will evaluate real-world fuel performance, cross-border operational feasibility, supply chain reliability, and carbon-reduction outcomes. Insights gained will help shape GEODIS’ wider adoption plans for renewable fuels across the Asia Pacific region.

“We are proud to embark on the first-ever ASEAN cross-border decarbonization trucking pilot powered by renewable diesel     . Transitioning to renewable fuels is a critical part of our mission to build a more sustainable supply chain for our customers and communities,” said Esther Cheong, Regional Sustainability Director, GEODIS Asia Pacific and Middle East. “Together with our partners Neste and Interion, we are demonstrating the practical benefits of renewable fuels and setting the groundwork for broader adoption across the region.”

“We are pleased to support GEODIS with our Neste MY Renewable Diesel, enabling immediate and meaningful GHG emissions reductions,” said Mario Mifsud, Vice President, Renewable Fuels Sales & Trading, EMEA & APAC, Neste. “Collaborations  like this showcase how renewable fuels can lower the climate impact of road transportation  in Southeast Asia.”

“As a trusted fuel distribution partner, Interion is proud to play a role in delivering cleaner energy solutions for the logistics industry,” said Peh Khian Hui, Director, Interion. “This pilot underscores how collaboration across the value chain can drive sustainable transformation.”

The initiative aligns with GEODIS’ broader strategy to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants and managing its resources in a responsible manner. Following the pilot, GEODIS aims to build upon its decarbonization efforts for cross-border road operations and scale renewable fuel adoption across its fleet in the region.

The investment is also indicative of GEODIS’ SBTi approved commitment to addressing climate change.  This strategy aligns with the 2015 Paris Agreement, seeking to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C by the end of this century.
