The benefits of night deliveries

Night deliveries are the deliveries to shops in the inner city area during

the night hours when the city is usually quiet and inactive. Typical times

are between 10 pm and 7 am. During that time special equipment is

required such as silent trucks, pallet jacks and load carriers.

Why encourage night deliveries?

To reduce delays and travel times for the logistics service providers by

using the free road capacities at night. As a result, it:

• increases logistics efficiencies in terms of the deployment of HGV’s

and manpower

• improve shelf availability by being able to increase or optimize the

number of possible deliveries during 24 hours

• reduces emissions and energy consumption: less congestion during

night time through direct access to the shops. As an example 30% of

the morning traffic in London city is made of lorries which are

delivering to stores

• Less disturbance for the customers in the store during opening hours


To enable retailers and 3PL providers to deliver also at night times

K.Hartwall has developed the following PIEK certified products:

• Compactainer® Classic Silent 60

– 2-sided nestable roll container

• Eurodolly

– ¼ pallet size plastic dolly

• Hybrid Dolly

– ½ pallet size plastic dolly

• Bread Dolly

– ¼ size metal dolly especially designed to carry Broban crates

What is the PIEK certification?

In 1998 the Dutch Government set out standards for noise emission during loading and unloading in retail trade

and craft businesses. This resulted in a project called PIEK and in 2004 in the PIEK certification scheme for vehicles

and equipment operating under 60dB(A) which will be suitable for use in night time deliveries without causing

noise disturbance.

These limits are set out in the ‘Retail Trade and Craft Businesses Environmental Management Decree issued by

government on October 1998. The standard resulted in a report on ‘Measurement methods for peak noise during

loading and unloading’. This report is intended to define measurement methods so that the compliance of new

equipment with the limits set by the Decree can be determined.

To achieve the standard, each product is acoustically measured and must function emitting under 60dB(A) at 7.5

metres from the sound source. It is then deemed suitable for so called “out-of-hours deliveries” that will not cause

noise disturbance to nearby residents.

The PIEK standard has been adopted in several countries like the UK, France, Germany and Belgium. All these

projects use the TNO report and the certificates granted by the national parties as the harmonized standard. On an

national level the project can differ, but they all have the same goal: a solution for the ever growing congestion and

its effects on society, that can only come with utilising that road space in off-peak times.

Bread dolly for Broban crates


Customer reference: DHL Wetherspoon

”The new cages were used for night-time deliveries to Wetherspoon pubs

during the Olympic Games between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. The

lower noise levels were well received by staff and appreciated by local

residents to such an extent that we didn’t receive a single complaint during the

entire period of the Games. ”

–John Anderson, National Transport Manager, JD Wetherspoon, UK

The challenge

K. Hartwall has been working in collaboration with DHL, redefining the A-

frame roll cage. The main design aims were to reduce weight, fuel costs, CO2

emissions and noise levels making it more acceptable for residential deliveries

at night.

The solution

Thanks to the new, revolutionary design of UK A-frame Classic Silent roll

container the goals were achieved. On the latest JD Wetherspoon units noise

levels have been reduced by approximately 15 dBA, and were trialed

successfully during the London 2012 Olympics.


Customer reference: Bake Five

“Because our bakeries have to deliver to 1,350 retail shops every morning, it is

vital for our organisation to use the K. Hartwall low-noise Bread Dollies for Broban

crates.”

–Niels Vreugdenhil, CEO, Bake Five, The Netherlands

The challenge

Bake Five favours off-peak hours store delivery because it enables shorter delivery

times. The company was looking for logistics solutions that would also fulfil the

PIEK certification criteria. The PIEK certification was launched to encourage the

development of new, more quiet logistics solutions that would enable low-noise

deliveries in urban areas.

The solution

K. Hartwall has developed several solutions, which have passed the noise tests

according to the PIEK standards and can thus be used for off-hours deliveries also

in residential areas. Bake Five chose K. Hartwall’s PIEK certified Bread Dolly for

Broban crates and has been content with the improved logistics efficiency and

reduced noise levels.


Other benefits
