Quality, safety, and sustainability are at the heart of our business management system. At Axell Logistics, you can count on reliable and sustainable logistics solutions.
Our quality management system has been set up to comply with legislation and regulations and the requirements of various standards.
In terms of quality, we strive for, among other things:
- Consistently provide our customers with services that meet our customers’ needs and requirements;
- Managing risks and exploiting;
- Thinking in solutions so that we facilitate our customer as broadly as possible;
- Do what we say *agreement = agreement);
- Continuously improve.
Efficient planning
People will always transport things from A to B. At Axell Group we do this as efficiently as possible. That means: fewer kilometers and less energy/fuel consumption. We focus on the areas where we have the greatest impact and where we can improve relatively quickly. For example, we drive with cleaner Diesel engines (Euro ‘6), which means that our trucks emit considerably less nitrogen and particulate matter. We use advanced scheduling systems to ensure our trucks are always loaded and take the most efficient routes.
Environmentally friendly
Our fleet meets all environmental and noise standards in the Benelux. For example, we have been driving with the cleaner Euro 6 diesel engines for years, which means our trucks emit less nitrogen and particulate matter. Because sustainability is of great importance to Axell Transport and its customers, we also drive for a large part of our trips on HVO100 fuel. And by making optimal use of our LHVs, we have also reduced the number of kilometers driven.
