We recently told you how the delivery of the ten new trucks we have added to our fleet had gone and that this would strengthen our quality of service and reliability in logistics deliveries.

Our fleet of isothermal tankers is on average about three years old and this, apart from reducing emissions and being more sustainable, helps us to raise our punctuality rates beyond 90%.

We can boast that our deliveries arrive on time more than 90% of the time and this means arriving when the delivery is due. Not before and not after and those of us in logistics know that this is important. It is important to note that the remaining cases include all the causes of delays due to unforeseen traffic
problems, delays in unloading slots or bay allocations, etc.

In any case, the modern systems with which our trucks are equipped allow us to recalculate deliveries and adjust schedules so that our customers always have up-to-date information and can better manage deliveries.

In ports such as Rotterdam, where thousands of trucks arrive and depart daily, it is essential to arrive at the time of unloading and leave as soon as possible. The logistics companies we work with there apply meticulous planning to their loading, unloading and storage times for huge quantities of goods.

Another case where punctuality of deliveries and collections is crucial is in the dairy sector, where we must collect the products when the factory completes its storage capacity or unload them before production is interrupted due to lack of stocks. All this, in the context of a liquid food product with an extremely high turnover due to the short times in which it has to be handled to keep its properties intact.

Thus, being on time does not mean arriving ahead of schedule, but arriving at the right time. And for this it is important to have a modern fleet of isothermal tankers that reduce unforeseen events to a minimum, offer full availability and help us to avoid unforeseen events through telemetry and active safety systems.

That's why we invest in innovation and that's why we deliver.

Last Thursday, June 5, a meeting took place at MAN Coruña, attended by the General Manager of the brand in Spain, the Marketing Manager, our CEO Brais Sangiao and more than 150 people representing companies linked to the world of logistics and road transport.

It was the presentation of two new engines. On the one hand, the new D30 engine, with a maximum efficiency of more than 50% and one of the best fuel consumptions in its category, saving 5% of fuel and emissions, and on the other hand, the electric propulsion of the eTGX model, which represents a new paradigm in the sustainability of road freight transport, with great challenges still pending at the level of recharging infrastructures.

In this event we also delivered the 10 new units recently acquired by Rios Sangiao that will replace vehicles of our fleet that were already around seven years of service. These new vehicles, equipped with the latest MAN D30 engine, reduce the average age of our fleet to 3 years and make our trucks a more efficient and sustainable fleet, reducing our carbon footprint.

The new tractor units that will be incorporated into the latest isothermal tanks acquired have a maximum efficiency of more than 50% and one of the best fuel consumptions in their category, among the most advanced commercial vehicle engines in the world, saving 5% in fuel and emissions
compared to previous generations.

In addition, these new cabins incorporate new safety measures that, although not yet mandatory, will be obligatory in the medium term and put us a step ahead in terms of innovation in our vehicles and in terms of safety regulations.

In this way, we achieve several of our policy objectives

• emission reduction in the transportation of liquid foodstuffs
• gaining efficiency in road transport
• to further increase the reliability of our equipment in order to continue
  to deliver on time
• make our drivers' jobs safer

The continuous improvement of our processes and, in short, of our service, entails this type of investment in order to have better working tools that result in efficient and reliable transportation.
