The roadmap towards decarbonisation in Colombia requires the convergence of the public, private and academic sectors.
The annual symposium of the GiroZero project: "Progress, Future Perspectives and Strategies for the Road to Decarbonisation of Automotive Freight Transport" was done on 6th February.
The GiroZero project has been working since 2021 on actions and strategies for the decarbonisation of freight transport in Colombia. Therefore, this year it is pleased to announce a series of three events where progress and future perspectives on the road to zero emissions will be discussed.

GiroZero Capacity Building Courses: A Road to Zero Emissions
GiroZero is pleased to announce a new cycle of capacity building courses.
Two courses will be delivered as follows:
Between 28 and 31 August, a new edition of the GiroZero courses was held, this time with a curriculum focused on operational tools to reduce emissions from Automotive Freight Transport.
The sessions were attended by approximately 40 people, mainly from logistics companies, road transport and freight generators in Colombia.
On 6 September, GiroZero participated in the event "Boosting the roadmap for the country's energy transition", organised by the Cámara de la Industria Automotriz of the National Association of Businessmen of Colombia, ANDI, with the aim of promoting joint work between the public and private sectors and academia around the roadmap for an energy transition in Colombia.
Is it possible to dream of cleaner freight transport?
GiroZero project manager Gordon Wilmsmeier answers how.
¿How to determine a collaborative and impartial scenario among all the actors that play a fundamental role in this decarbonization?
This Workshop will analyze how the simulation tool developed at GiroZero, which is the first in Colombia that quantitatively evaluates the configuration of the cargo fleet using historical data from the RDNC, can be used to answer this question.
Disseminate to the public sector, private enterprise, associations, and academia the results obtained during the second year of work of the GiroZero project, financed by UK Pact Colombia.
To share and discuss results of Latin American Research on reducing emissions in Road Freight Transport using big data
In this workshop we will learn how to use to calculate the environmental index of the Road Freight Transport in Colombia
The objectives are:
1) Understand how data is converted into KPI performance indicators to produce real-time analytics.
2) Understand how to use environmental KPIs in decision making
3) Know how the ERFTI tool is structured
Intensive one-day course focused on the needs of the Automotive Freight Transport sector, based on the contributions collected by the GiroZero project.
This course, developed by GiroZero, hopes to train the key players in cargo transportation in Colombia through the extensive experience of our professors and researchers.
Our purpose is to continue building and learning with different international organizations to move towards zero emissions in road freight transportation. This time we launched the first International Capacity building Program between Colombia and United Kingdom.
