1 KNEG - Resultatkonferens 2013 Stockholm Samverkan mellan aktörer Effektiva & Hållbara intermodala transporter

2 Volvo Group Trucks Does a manufacturer of commercial vehicles develop intermodal solutions and utilize different modes of transport?

3 European challenge The transport sector is crucial to the competitiveness of the EU. We need a long-term plan about how to develop sustainable and efficient transport. Volvo is in favour of strengthening and combining all the different modes of transport.. Leif Johansson, Former CEO, Volvo Group

7 CO2 savings - Train 8 & Viking Rail vs road The annual CO2 saving in using rail set ups Train8 and Viking Rail equals driving around the earth 74 times CO 2 Total CO2 saving kg Driving 30 km to work times... CO 2.. or a yearly consumption of household electricity for villas Road setup kg CO2 Viking Rail and Train kg CO2 Note: CO2 savings are on an annual level and calculated on volume base for 2013 Compiled by Eva Kristoffersen, Quality & Environment Improvement Manager

8 Collaboration; Viking Rail Develop an intermodal solution between Germany<>Sweden Challenge/Opportunity Volvo Group s objective: Develop an intermodal solution between Germany and Sweden in 2006 Solve imbalance in Volvo Group s flow (15% in return flows) in order to create positive business case Solution Volvo Group invited potential road carriers for pre- and on-carriage to a partnership Volvo Group is selling trailer slots SB to Ewals & Rhenus Northbound: 100% Volvo cargo Southbound: 15% Volvo cargo and 75% 3rd party cargo Result Annual CO2 saving: ton per year Intermodal solution implemented 2008 Volvo Group transferred ~40% of the total Inbound volume from Germany to Sweden from road to rail Nominated road carriers could develop an intermodal strategy/product for third party customers

9 Collaboration; Train 8 Reduce imbalances in the domestic transport corridor Challenge/Opportunity Volvo Group; Empty transportation Gothenburg à Umeå Autolink; Empty transportation Umeå à Gothenburg Same wagon type used by both parties Solution Cooperation established 2013 between Volvo Group, Autolink and Green Cargo Re-loading of finished vehicles from Gotheburg to Umeå Volvo Groups Multipurpose wagons used Result Annual CO2 saving: 357 ton per year Increased wagon utilization northbound by +20% Reduced transportation costs Increased utilization at Volvo Groups combi terminal Reduced lead-time [Autolink/OEMs] Increased punctuality [Autolink/OEMs] Reduced financial risk [Autolink/OEMs]

10 Collaboration; Train 8 and Viking Rail Securing high quality, punctuality and deviation handling Challenge/Opportunities Keep Volvo cargo on rail by securing high quality, punctuality and deviation handling in the international transport corridor Solution Partner meetings are held 2-3 times per year Agenda topics (exampels): Punctuality follow-up Deviation process, Back-up solutions Volvo Desk, Information flow, Quality handbook Web based track & trace, GPS & RFID Root cause analysis for delays & improvement areas Result Keep annual CO2 saving: ton per year Improved quality & punctuality Improved collaboration & communication Improved deviation process & internal processes Creates responsibility and commitment Infrastructure managers

11 Success factors [Volvo Group experience] Collaboration à Efficient & Sustainable intermodal solutions Develop a long term sourcing strategy, i.e contract length, size of carrier company, asset owner, forwarder etc Involve carriers early in the development of your supply chain - commercial and operational Create an open, honest and transparent dialogue with carriers & collaboration partners Collaborate with OEMs, forwarders or carriers in order to find the necessary volumes, balances and frequencies that secure your needs and mimimize empty running Collaborate with partners/customers with different leadtime demands which can be combined in the same set-up Create business models where all parties share opportunities and risks Explain the background and reasons for your needs/demands for all involved parties it creates commitment, responsibility and understanding of effects in case of deviations à OEMs and carriers need to work together in order to secure high filling degree, share filling degree risks and achieve daily frequency
