Low-carbon fuel choices, made easy: How Transporting Wheels drives sustainable transportation with Biofuel Swap

A commitment to sustainability 

Maarten Klanderman, CEO, describes their mission: “We’re like an Uber for car transport, moving cars from A to B as efficiently as possible. While vehicle logistics can involve high emissions, we’re committed to reducing these. Our platform matches transport requests with carriers already on the road, minimising empty runs and saving on fuel.” 

An essential part of Transporting Wheels’ approach is “spot filling.” Anniek Barendregt, CSR specialist, explains: “Spot filling allows us to use empty space on trailers already in transit. By adding client vehicles, we cut unnecessary emissions, as we try to limit the number of trucks on the road. It’s an efficient way to optimise logistics and reduce our environmental impact.” 

This mission led them to adopt Biofuel Swap through Decarb Desk, a digital platform designed by FincoEnergies to help cargo owners and freight forwarders manage their decarbonisation efforts. Through Biofuel Swap, clients purchase HVO100 biofuel without directly driving on it, achieving a minimum of 85% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional diesel. 

Biofuel Swap: a solution with immediate impact 

Anniek elaborates, “Biofuel Swap is a bridge solution that empowers clients to reduce Scope 3 emissions without altering their logistics operations, seamlessly swapping conventional diesel for HVO within the Dutch network to simplify emissions tracking and reporting.” 

This solution also supports compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), as FincoEnergies offers customers clear insights into their CO2 emissions and reductions, aligning seamlessly with their reporting requirements and sustainability goals.  

Adding value through simple yet effective solutions 

As a digital-first platform, Transporting Wheels values simplicity. The Biofuel Swap option lets clients choose sustainable fuels by checking a single box, with all calculations and logistics handled behind the scenes. 

“Making difficult processes simple is what we do best,” shares Maarten. “With Biofuel Swap, we’ve turned what could be a challenging task into a seamless client experience.” 

Reaching sustainability goals through strategic partnership 

Partnering with FincoEnergies enables Transporting Wheels to offer a robust sustainability solution without complicating operations. From CO2 calculations to certification, this partnership simplifies sustainable transport, making it accessible across Europe.  

“The collaboration has been instrumental in helping our clients meet ambitious sustainability goals,” says Anniek. 

Outlook for the future 

Looking ahead, the company is preparing for a future where sustainable transport combines immediate solutions such as Biofuel Swap with zero-emission technologies. As Anniek explains, “The future of sustainable transport will likely be a combination of electric, hydrogen, and biofuel solutions. We’re setting up for a long-term transition while providing an actionable step for today.” 

Plans are also underway to enhance CO2 tracking per transport route, supporting comprehensive CSR-aligned reporting for clients. “By simplifying CO2 reduction, Biofuel Swap makes sustainable choices more accessible for businesses aiming for a cleaner future.”
