More efficient transportation
|
Rather than run its own fleet of collection and distribution vehicles, Valio arranges transportation to carry milk from farms to dairies and distribute products to clients. Computerized route optimization and avoiding rush hour traffic keeps distances travelled to the minimum possible.
|
The haulage equipment is used efficiently. One articulated vehicle for collection can carry as much as 40,000 liters of milk. The utilization rate of distribution vehicles has been increased by transporting other than Valio foodstuffs.
Distances covered will grow as the fresh products development program proceeds, and their production is concentrated to three dairies by 2008. Valio aims to decrease the environmental effects of transportation by shifting further toward two-tier distribution vehicles. This will reduce kilometers travelled in distribution by about 5 per cent.
