This award reinforces our commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions across the industry and supporting logistics professionals in making the transition to electric transport solutions smoother.”

The Eco Performance Award, presented at the Zero Emission Summit, honors companies that demonstrate environmental responsibility, economic efficiency, and social impact. The EV Truck Route Planner by PTV Logistics sets new standards in sustainable route optimization by using an extensive database of EV models to simulate scenarios for feasibility and cost. As the only tool of its kind currently available, it can be used across manufacturers without prior training and can calculate routes for entire fleet operations with a single click, distinguishing itself with its accuracy and user-friendliness.

Beyond the EV Truck Route Planner, PTV offers many solutions to support electromobility: developers can calculate routes with the same vehicle models, a new version of the leading route planner Map&Guide also supports all electric vehicle models, and in the highest category of route optimization, OptiFlow sets new standards for mixed fleets with electric vehicles.
