Costs which are up to five times lower, greenhouse gas emissions which are up to eight times lower - the reasons why parcel transport by road is steadily becoming more attractive and logical in comparison to airfreight in Europe are demonstrated by www.whyflyparcels.com, the new information portal by Chronopost Portugal, which works out the difference in CO2 emissions between the two modes of transport in Europe and displays some astonishing results.

The ECO calculator on the website has been developed by environmental experts and calculates what quantities of CO2 emissions can be saved during parcel transport on a specific route within Europe by a modeshift from air to the road. Depending on the route selected, shipping parcels by road can generate up to eight times less greenhouse gases. Chrono Classic is the road service covering up to 28 european countries, with reduced costs and CO2 emissions savings.
