Cainiao, a global supplier of smart logistics technology, has launched a new sorting solution tailored for the European market, addressing key challenges faced by local courier companies, including limited space, labour shortages, and the need for mixed-size parcel handling.

“We’ve conducted thorough research into the European market and found that courier companies face several operational hurdles. These include limited warehouse and sorting space, and the growing complexity of handling a variety of parcel sizes, from small e-commerce packages to larger shipments. Traditional sorting solutions, like large cross-belt sorters, often require substantial space and investment, making them less practical for many European logistics centers,” said a Cainiao product representative.

To address these challenges, Cainiao has introduced its newly developed narrow-belt linear sorter, a space-efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional sorting systems. The sorter supports hundreds of parcel destinations and seamlessly processes mixed-size packages. It features a single-item separation system and an automated parcel feeding system that accurately identifies and separates parcels, ensuring fully automated sorting. By optimizing manpower allocation, it helps ease the operational pressure from increasing parcel volumes while maintaining over 99% sorting accuracy.

“The narrow-belt linear sorter is an ideal fit for European courier operations. Compared to large cross-belt sorters, it requires less space, offers greater flexibility, and delivers faster ROI with lower upfront costs,” the representative added. The sorter, independently developed by Cainiao, has received EU CE mark and is already being used by several European courier companies.

One European courier company implemented the solution last year as part of a major distribution centre upgrade. After deploying the system across multiple facilities, sorting efficiency increased by 30%.

Efficient courier operations rely on advanced logistics equipment. With the industry’s rapid growth, it’s now undergoing an intelligent transformation, driven by AI, IoT, and other technologies that enhance equipment reliability. Cainiao, with its vast experience handling millions of parcels, continues to optimize technologies in diverse operational settings. In addition to sorting, Cainiao provides a range of logistics technogies including warehouse automation, digitization, and digital supply chain technologies to boost logistics efficiency. Moving forward, Cainiao will continue supporting global customers and industry partners in their digital transformation.

Road transport is responsible for 755 Mt CO2 emissions today. However, the current situation in logistics doesn’t support a way to decarbonize it. Challenges along the way with infrastructure, technological barriers, costs, and market demands pave a struggling way forward. Despite that carriers can already contribute to a better place for drivers, communities, and the overall us. Thanks to eco-driving, we can move closer to ambitious EU targets.

Today’s real landscape of trucks in the EU

According to ACEA , over 6.4 million medium and heavy commercial vehicles operate on European roads today, with roughly 80% of total freight tonne-kilometers carried by trucks under five years old. However, the average fleet age is about 14.2 years, reflecting broad differences among EU nations.

EU emissions goals and alternative fuels

The EU aims to cut heavy-truck CO₂ emissions by 2.5% annually to reach a 15% reduction by 2025 (relative to 2019), with a long-term objective of a 90% cut by 2040 . Achieving this goal will likely require significant advances in battery-electric or hydrogen fuel-cell trucks. However, today’s situation in the area of infrastructure and cost barriers continues to slow large-scale adoption. CNG and LNG alternatives also remain limited by refueling network constraints. This is a place where eco-driving can play a significant role.

Eco-driving stands out for its immediate potential. Structured programs across Europe have shown fuel consumption – and thus CO₂ emissions – can drop by 10–20% when such practices are fully adopted. “Eco-driving isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a measurable way to cut costs and emissions almost overnight,” says Karolina Žekaitė, Head of Drivers academy at Girteka.

Emissions reduction at different scales

• A single truck traveling 120,000 km annually at 30-40 liters/100 km burns about 33,600 liters of diesel. Each liter of diesel produces around 2.64 kg of CO₂ , which yields roughly 96 tonnes of CO₂ per truck per year.
• A 10% cut in fuel use through eco-driving translates into more than 9 tonnes of CO₂ saved per truck.
• Applied to trucks older than 6 years (40%) across the EU, this cumulative benefit can reach 23 million tonnes in emissions reductions .

Improving driver operations and safety

However, eco-driving, despite the potential for reduction of emissions, also has a very good influence on road safety. “By adopting smoother driving habits, I’ve seen a drop in fatigue, and I’m less stressed at the end of the day,” notes one driver, who recently finished Girteka’s eco-training. Eco-driving focuses on steady acceleration, cautious braking, reduced idling, and route optimization. In-vehicle telematics tools help drivers and fleet managers pinpoint issues like harsh braking or high idle times.

Training, telemetry, and continuous improvement

In 2024, more than 7.000 Girteka drivers completed both theory sessions – covering fuel-saving techniques and safety measures – and practical lessons with an instructor. “We provide real-time feedback to our drivers through an updated mobile system, so they can easily adapt their way of driving to exact results that are transferred to them via mobile solution,” explains Žekaitė. “That immediate visibility on speed, acceleration, and braking patterns helps them make adjustments on the road for better efficiency.”

Broader perspective and next steps

While modernizing fleets and exploring cleaner fuels remain vital for meeting the EU’s 2025 and 2040 emissions targets, eco-driving offers an immediate, cost-effective complement. It delivers measurable improvements in fuel efficiency, reduces costs, and often enhances safety.

Eco-driving is one of several tactics available to the freight industry, alongside accelerated fleet renewal and alternative fuels. Girteka’s driver training programs indicate that even small per-vehicle gains can yield significant environmental and economic advantages when multiplied across Europe’s vast trucking sector. To reach ambitious emission goals, industry stakeholders may combine multiple strategies – modern vehicles, expanded infrastructure for alternative fuels, and well-structured driver education – to ensure immediate and long-term progress.

IAG Cargo celebrates 10th anniversary

GMR Safety, designer and manufacturer of wheel restraint systems for loading docks is introducing the newest evolution of its highly successful and patented Power Chock® product line with the addition of Power Chock Auto, an automatic version of the system.

The Power Chock Auto is equipped with high-quality optical sensors that can detect all types of vehicle wheels, including semi-trailers, straight trucks, and delivery vans, up to 21.5 feet from the loading dock wall. By simply pressing a control panel button inside the facility, an operator automatically positions the wheel chock in front of the vehicle’s wheel, requiring no driver intervention to set and secure the vehicle.

To ensure safety, the dock door or dock leveller can only be operated if the chock has been properly set in front of the wheel and the correct position of the chock is confirmed by a sensor. Visual indicators and audible alarms inform inside warehouse personnel and the driver outside about the position of the chock and the safe availability of the loading dock.

To provide full visibility and better control, the Power Chock Auto is equipped with a camera on the outside, facing the loading area, and a screen on the inside, next to the control panel. This visual communication system allows the operator to ensure that the loading area is devoid of any human presence prior to deployment of the wheel chock.

The mechanical movement system is not subject to any torsional forces as all the pressure from the truck is transferred on the Power Chock gripping to the ground plate. Using simple physics to restrain any type of vehicle, the Power Chock systems feature a patented combination of a 23-inch high-tensile steel wheel chock and a hot-dip galvanized restraining plate anchored to the ground. The system immobilizes the wheel, the sturdiest part of any vehicle.

“Accidents at loading docks pose a significant threat to warehouse operators and contribute to a substantial portion of workplace injuries,” said Gaétan Jay Jetté, founder and CEO of GMR Safety. “Automating our Power Chock system provides loading docks with additional safety measures to ensure safety at this vulnerable area in the logistics journey.”

The company’s innovative solution is a direct response to statistics that point to the prevalence of workplace accidents, with more than 10 percent of them rated as fatal. The fatal injury rate in the transportation and logistics industry segment is twice the all-industry rate, which no company should ever ignore.

Other key benefits to this life-saving system include universal compatibility with all vehicle types, including those with liftgates. It is also highly adaptable for seamless installation on any driveway approach and requires minimal maintenance. Loading dock accidents consist of various scenarios, including trailer creep (vehicle movement caused by forklifts entering and exiting the trailer), unexpected trailer departures — often leading to falls from the dock edge.
