You do an internship for the logistics service provider "WeMove", that conducts road freight transports for its customers. Currently, WeMove is in negotiations with a small manufacturer located close to Münster. Up to now, the manufacturer organizes and conducts its own transport but thinks about outsourcing these activities to WeMove. Next to potential cost savings, it is very important to the manufacturer to reduce their carbon footprint. Consequently, they are very interested in the amount of CO2 emissions they could save by mandating WeMove for their transports. It is your task to use an exemplary delivery of the manufacturer's transport activities and show how much CO2 emissions could be saved. Please, calculate the total emissions caused by the manufacturer's delivery for the following scenarios: Scenario A: Transports conducted by the manufacturer One of the manufacturer's largest customers is located in Spenge (96km distance to the manufacturer). This customer orders 7 pallets, each weighing 500kg, regularly. The manufacturer delivers those pallets in one of its semitrailers (40tons gross weight, 25t max. payload, emission class Euro 6, operated on Diesel). Scenario B: Transport conducted by WeMove WeMove has various customers located all over North Rhine Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Hence, they can combine the delivery of the manufacturer with ones of other customers leading to an additional load of 11.5t on the truck. Apart from that, the specifications for this scenario remain the same. You do an internship for the logistics service provider "WeMove", that conducts road freight transports for its customers.
