In this article (6)
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in the Australia Pacific region has formed a strategic partnership with Visy to oversee freight transport on select national transit paths.
Partnership Details
Within the framework of Visy’s national fleet network, CCEP is set to reap the benefits of dependable capacity, operational adaptability, and state-of-the-art transport facilities. This includes access to Volvo FH600 prime movers and high-capacity 36-pallet trailer configurations.
These uniquely configured trailers enable CCEP to transport 6% more goods per journey compared to the standard 34-pallet configurations, thus reducing the total number of road trips. The incorporation of Euro 6 engines is anticipated to decrease CCEP’s freight fuel consumption by 5%.
Tim Chapman from CCEP Australia Pacific stated the importance of having the right partners across their supply chain, given the company’s role in manufacturing and moving some of Australia’s favorite beverages on a daily basis. He noted that Visy Logistics provides the necessary scale and linehaul ability to support this, while also granting access to higher-capacity equipment for a more efficient and sustainable supply chain.
The partnership agreement includes plans for dedicated CCEP branding to be displayed on select Visy Logistics trailers as they transport goods interstate.
Partnership Goals
The collaboration aims to ensure stable, efficient product distribution for the beverage distributor, while also addressing corporate supply chain sustainability goals through the use of modernized freight equipment.
Wayne Boxshall, president of Visy Logistics Australia, spoke about the partnership reflecting the robustness of their transport capabilities and their consistent delivery of high-quality results for their clientele.
Visy made headlines earlier this year with the announcement of its investment in a new packaging hub in Devonport, which will supply cardboard packaging throughout Tasmania.
