The protection of the environment is a major responsibility we accept today, and for tomorrow. In reducing the ecological footprint of our business, we include all the environmental impact parameters right from the start of the design work on our solutions.

An environmentally sound fleet

One third of our fleet is changed every three years, reducing pollution thanks to vehicle innovations that are ever-more environmentally friendly. The vehicles in our fleet satisfy the new Euro IV and Euro V exhaust gas emission standards. We have also chosen a parking heater system for all of our 1,200 MAN towing vehicles, as well as a second braking system for the whole of the group which ensures control over the tyre residues and improved road safety.

Maintenance

The highly trained teams in our 26 technical centres carry out the ongoing maintenance and guarantee the reliability of all our vehicles.

The voluntary road haulage industry Charter to reduce CO2 emissions (Charte d'Engagement Volontaire de Réduction des Gaz à Emissions de Serre et de CO2) with the French Ministry of Transports and the Adème.

Transalliance, with the signing of this Charter is committed to reducing its CO2 emissions through a 3 year action plan, including the implementation of the g CO2/tonne-kilometre monitoring indicator.

Eco-Driving

Our professionals are fully aware of the implications of CO2 emissions. Training courses are provided by our training centre based in Chenevières in Eco-Driving to teach smart, smooth and safe driving techniques, cutting fuel consumption, reducing servicing costs and improving road safety.

Logistics

Transalliance also applies an environmental management policy for its properties, including the construction of warehouses that fully comply with HQE (High Quality Environmental) environmental standards and adapting its existing buildings. Ecologically sound materials for improving energy and water consumption and limiting sound pollution are used. All wastes are subject to environmental management systems, with monitoring of consumption, the reuse of waste through selective sorting on the logistics facilities, and the recovery of used oils and worn parts in the technical and repair centres.

An everyday commitment

All employees are committed to trying to reduce their water, energy and paper consumption in their everyday lives: turning off lights on leaving a room, only printing documents when really necessary, turning off taps when not in use. Because what we do for ourselves, we do for you.
