Due to the global crisis in the transport sector, companies are looking for sustainable technological solutions to improve efficiency, reduce shipping costs, and improve services. The company claims that the platform developed by Trucknet is the only one in the world which provides a solution for all these issues. Â
The platform gives access to real-time information regarding available capacity for cargo in trucks; and reduces the number of empty rides, making it easier for transport companies to ship worldwide, thereby saving costs, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and contributing to lowering the number of road accidents involving heavy vehicles.

The company said that soon all the companies in this sector would adopt such solutions for better efficiency. CAL Cargo Airlines is part of the Challenge Group, active internationally with a number of jointly controlled companies, including CAL Cargo Airlines, the Israeli Cargo Company, LACHS the Belgian cargo terminal, Challenge Airlines (BE) S.A. in Belgium, and Challenge Aircargo that serves as the commercial arm of the group with sales offices throughout Europe, designed to increase and strengthen the group’s presence in the international arena.
According to a statement, the Challenge Group promotes the use of green technologies that improve logistics processes and reduce pollutants and carbon emissions, while enabling environmental solutions in addition to saving resources. The group manages its operations via HUB located in Europe – in Liege Belgium, from where the Group’s planes fly to destinations in North America, Europe, Israel, and China.
According to the signed agreement between the companies, Trucknet will provide the Challenge Group with the license to use the platform in Europe and later in the United States. The first month will be considered a pilot project with no payment; at the end of the pilot period, Trucknet will receive regular payment from the client of about 5 euros for each trip as well as an additional 5 per cent of the shipping costs for each successful “matching” within the system for an empty truck.
