Improved
Cycle 4 updates, Q3 2022.
about 3 years ago by Pierre
👋 Hi folks, welcome to our product update! A lot to unpack here since we last wrote, Cycle 4, c'est parti!
✨ New & Improved.
A new API enters our family: CO2 emissions for shipments.
- The new shipment API lets users build a multimodal trip, with several legs. 📦
- CO2e emissions are accredited, and split per leg into well-to-tank and tank-to-wheel. 🔖
- Users can now pass in ISO container types to facilitate the integration with other APIs such as Chain.io. 🖇
- The API contract is flexible so you can use (un)locodes, geocoordinates or location names. 📍
- Supported modes are 🛳 Sea transport and 🚚 Road transport.

}CO2e calculations are certifiable.
- What's more, when computing the CO2e emissions of a shipment, the parameter
generateCertificate=truecan be used to obtain a certificate of calculations. ⚙️ - The calculation of emissions are in compliance with the GLEC framework, and the certificate details the assumptions made for the calculations. 🔖
- If you are interested in using this certificate with your company logo, get in touch. 🌈
Simulate the CO2e emissions of your shipments online.
- This release sees both the Shipment API and the Certificate make its way to our web app. 🚀
- We've integrated 🚄 Rail transport and Inland Waterways simulations include all modes of transport. 🛹
- You can try it yourself, and give us feedback at [email protected]. 📣
🛠 Fixes & Updates.
- More rail regions (including Oceania, Asia), geocoding improvements (zipcodes, road terminals) and maritime route fixes (Alaska).
- Updates of emission factors following the GLEC Framework 2022 update.
👀 Preview of Cycle 5.
- In Cycle 5, we'll work on extending our Shipment API to other modes: ✈️ Air transport 🚄 Rail transport and IWW.
- While we only cover the Full Container Load (FCL) use case on the Shipment API, we're working on cycle 5 to allow Less than Container Loads (LCL).
- A better handling of CO2 Emissions for Reefer containers is planned.
- Finally, users will be able to pass in
distanceandregionas a parameter for our CO2 APIs, so any referential can be used. - When possible, our web app will provide more information about transport options on a particular leg.
