XPO Logistics, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable end-to-end logistics solutions in Europe, has developed a new platform to support planning of the transport routes connecting the sites within its network in Spain and Portugal. This initiative strengthens operational stability, service quality and the sustainability of inter-hub (linehaul) transport.

The solution brings together operational and historical information to improve volume forecasting, support decision-making and enable a more balanced planning approach, combining service reliability with environmental efficiency. The platform is integrated with the company’s corporate systems and complements the knowledge and experience of operational teams.

Since its implementation, the platform has helped reduce empty kilometres and improve the stability of daily planning, supporting a more efficient use of transport resources. These improvements help enhance service reliability and reduce fuel consumption per tonne transported, in line with the company’s sustainability objectives.

The project was conceived and developed at XPO Logistics’ headquarters in Spain, in Santander, by a multidisciplinary team, further strengthening the site’s role as an internal reference point for applied logistics innovation.

The initiative has received support from SODERCAN – Government of Cantabria, under the 2024 ICT R&D Projects programme.
