At facilities and operations worldwide we have implemented programs to monitor fuel consumption levels and fuel efficiency. Measures are being undertaken by our Fresh Cut Operation (FCO) and Distribution Center (DC) facilities to ensure that energy and fuel is used efficiently. Refrigeration systems adhere to strict maintenance schedule to maximize energy efficiency. All our newer equipment as well as replacement motors are energy efficient. Efficient production schedules and planning also contribute to energy and fuel conservation. Other fuel saving initiatives in North America include various programs to improve energy consumption levels.
Fuel Use Control and Monitoring
In Brazil, a fuel reduction program has been implemented; by installing CTF (Controle de Trafego de Frota) devices in farm equipment we are able monitor fuel consumption. The kilometer-run and fuel consumption is automatically recorded once the equipment refuels at the gas station.
All electrically driven equipment is regularly maintained for maximum energy efficiency. At Port Hueneme, discharging operations are one hundred percent electric.
Planning and Control
Planning and control facilitates the efficient use of fuel and energy. One way we reduce fuel use is by increasing the number of pallets per truck, eliminating one truck for every 20 trucks loaded. At North American fresh cut operations and distribution centers, fuel saving initiatives are in place to manage every inbound and outbound run. They include combining deliveries; working with customers to reduce driver and equipment downtimes; maximizing truck capacity; and the use of dual temperature trailers to move mixed-temperature products in one truck rather than two.
