Thinking Of Reducing Your CO2 Emissions During Deliveries, Mercado Livre Announced That 46 Vehicles In Its Fleet Will Be Powered By Biogas – Biometano And CNG, Allowing 230 Thousand Packages A Day To Be Delivered Sustainably

Mercado Livre, one of the largest e-commerce specialists, announced its intention to expand its sustainable fleet. A total of 46 trucks powered by gas – Biometano and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), will be operational by the end of this year. Eight trucks are already in circulation by the end of this month, and throughout the year, the fleet is expected to grow gradually.

Mercado Livre’s Plans With Sustainable Trucks

The new gas-powered trucks – Biometano and CNG – emit fewer pollutants compared to traditional diesel trucks, reducing the environmental impact of Mercado Livre’s logistics network, which is expanding rapidly in various regions. The trucks powered by biometano and CNG will add to the 51 electric vehicles the company has been operating since December of last year, making Mercado Livre’s journey toward greener logistics increasingly shorter.

The new gas-powered trucks – Biometano and CNG – will initially serve the southern and southeastern parts of Brazil; however, the goal is to take the vehicles to all regions of the country. To make this possible, Mercado Livre is monitoring the availability of biometano and CNG at gas stations along the main highways, facilitating the expansion of the company’s logistics routes.

Words From The Vice President Of Mercado Livre

According to Mercado Livre’s Senior Vice President in Brazil, Fernando Yunes, the expansion of the gas-powered fleet – Biometano and CNG – is part of the company’s environmental and sustainability strategy.

He asserts that the company is aware of its environmental impact. Therefore, it aims for increasingly cleaner operations, from a sustainability perspective, and greater prominence for gas and electric vehicles in its logistics.

Mercado Livre’s Investments In Sustainability

In addition to investing in and developing gas and electric mobility projects, Mercado Livre engages in various climate actions, renewable energy projects, and material management.

This year alone, the company invested around US$ 400 million in sustainability throughout the region and also created the Regenera América program to support conservation and regeneration projects in the main ecosystems of Latin America. Later this year, Mercado Livre will support two initiatives in the Atlantic Forest, aimed at tree planting and the regeneration of biological corridors.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.
