During the last months we have designed and developed spaces in the main cities of Colombia to contribute to the network of the Road Freight Transport (TAC) sector with the purpose of exchanging information, experiences and challenges, and thus reduce emissions and strengthen the capacities of the different actors in the sector.

In these sessions we focus on covering the following topics: Driving courses, Training on tools such as the Simulator of Scenarios for decision making and the Dashboard of Economic and Environmental Indicators, green logistics, strategies and recommendations, among others.

In total we have carried out more than 30 events in which we have impacted around 961 people, of which 33% have been women.

 

Enter the following link to be part of this network that seeks more groups to participate in developing opportunities to reach zero emissions, creating strategies towards a greener future.
