Ocean Network Express and Transmanut provide greener truck options in France

Ocean Network Express (ONE) is currently providing customers in France the opportunity to transport their cargo inland using trucks powered by biofuel in cooperation with logistics firm Transmanut.

According to a statement, operating in the Le Havre area, the trucks will utilise Oleo100 fuel, which is made from 100% French rapeseed residue. The fuel provides a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions and is a fully renewable energy resource.

“We are excited to be working with Transmanut, a longstanding trusted inland haulage vendor to offer this new green inland option to our customers in France. ONE is always looking for innovative ways to reduce CO2 emissions and find sustainable solutions to lower our impact on the environment. We thank Transmanut for helping us to make greener journeys,” commented Thierry Le Moal, head of operations for ONE France.

Additionally, Transmanut is one of the main suppliers for ONE’s road services in France, and they offer dedicated drivers for all of ONE’s cargo deliveries.

“Six years ago, Transmanut decided to invest in the first biofuel trucks in the French market using Oleo100 fuel. 600,000 Kms later and with a positive return experience, we have the ambition to develop our biofuel fleet in the container sector and have acquired two new trucks this month. We are pleased to be deploying these trucks into service, helping ONE’s customers to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Further, biofuel trucks will be delivered by the end of this year to reinforce our green fleet,” added Dominique Berthauld, CEO of Transmanut.
