DACHSER set up the new branch in the burgeoning financial and industrial hub in order to serve a larger and growing customer base. Aside from being closer to its customers, the logistics service provider increased its capacity.

Our continuous efforts and enthusiasm to provide intelligent logistics to all our customers has fueled continued growth, making a move to a new facility in northern India necessary.

“Our continuous efforts and enthusiasm to provide intelligent logistics to all our customers has fueled continued growth, making a move to a new facility in northern India necessary,” said Huned Gandhi, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics, India. The city of Gurugram in the Northern Capital Region is a logical choice for the company as the area is now experiencing rapid urbanization with the third-highest per capita income in India. Being a satellite city of Delhi to the North, it is also home to more than 250 Fortune 500 companies.

Another reason for choosing Gurugram

“Our team will be able to liaise directly with our clients’ decision makers which allows for close collaboration,” Gandhi added.

Another reason for choosing Gurugram is the city’s close connectivity not only to South Delhi but also to the rest of the country and worldwide destinations via the International Airport, domestic Indira Gandhi airport and dedicated freight corridors connecting the ports, which means fast connection times for air and sea freight.

DACHSER is committed to developing its network and service portfolio in Asia and this latest expansion is but one of many locations that have undergone solid growth in recent times. Other locations where the company has been amplifying its presence on the Indian subcontinent include Pune, Chennai and Bangalore.

Emissions calculations with DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics

For several years now, DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics has been compiling so-called carbon footprints (calculation of the CO₂ balance sheet) of freight transports and summarizing the individual transport-related calculations in emissions reports. The preparation of these reports is a value-added service offered to DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics customers worldwide and is tailored to the individual needs of the customer. In general, primary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and various air pollutants can be calculated at consignment level. This can also be broken down to individual transport sections. In this way, transport-related carbon footprints can be calculated for complete transport chains, including the pre-carriage, main carriage and onward carriage.

DACHSER uses an emissions calculator for the calculations, which meets all the requirements of the European standard for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from passenger and goods transport (EN 16258). Another advantage of the emissions calculator is that the calculation processes are automated via an XML interface to our Othello transport management system. This allows the emission reports to be generated completely automatically.

In general, the emission calculation in the first step serves to determine the primary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants emitted by transports. However, this information is essential for deriving necessary measures to reduce emissions. Therefore, in addition to the pure calculations, it is also important to be able to provide our customers with further bases for decisions on emission reduction. For this reason, customers receive simulated calculations of alternative means of transport and bundling strategies on request.

In addition to a comparison of the classic means of transport by air and sea, the alternative of rail transport (see DACHSER Rail Services) is also highlighted for customers. 

If you have any questions about our emissions calculator, please contact your DACHSER contact person.
