Smart Freight Centre Academy

In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations: The Leadership Series, Moritz Tölke, Director for Green Projects at Sovereign Speed, shares how a medium-sized carrier is driving meaningful climate action without waiting for perfect conditions. 

 

Moritz breaks down how Sovereign Speed: 

  • Is deploying HVO100 and scaling fleet electrification 
  • Uses primary fuel data instead of modeled estimates 
  • Builds trust with LSPs and shippers through transparent collaboration 
  • Tracks performance against science-based targets (SBTi) 
  • Actively contributes to Smart Freight Centre initiatives like Book & Claim, MBM, and sustainable procurement 

 

This episode highlights how real decarbonization happens at the intersection of partnership, standards, and operational accountability, especially when the carriers themselves take the lead.
