Network design for specialized and reverse logistics
LNG stations, collection of electrical waste, donated meals. We design networks and carrier models where standard logistics does not fit.
Czech territory covered by the LNG network designed for GasNet
80%
Monthly value of school lunches saved from waste (Save the Food)
€19 400
Typical problems
Networks without a template
A new infrastructure or collection system has no history to plan from.
Carrier costs
Tolls and carrier prices change the cost of every route.
Many small collection points
Collection from hundreds of locations needs routing that works every day.
What we solve as consultants
Network design
We positioned seven LNG stations for GasNet to cover around 80% of the Czech Republic.
Carrier selection and cost models
For Elektrowin we built a carrier cost model and network simulation with negotiation‑ready scenarios.
Distribution strategy
A reusable distribution model for Save the Food, donating ready meals from school canteens.
Operational data
DPMUL moved from manual spreadsheets to one visual analytics tool.
Building a nationwide network of LNG stations from scratch is no easy task. However, thanks to Logio's analyses, we are confident that they will all be located in the most suitable places.
A few years ago, we worked with Logio to select new carriers for specific regions. Even in this latest project, focused on evaluating carriers, we were convinced of their high level of professionalism and diligence, which was, of course, the main reason why we chose Logio for the second time.
Case studies
LNG station network design for GasNet
Logio analyzed freight flows through the Czech Republic and used distribution strategy modeling to position seven LNG stations so they can cover around 80% of the territory and make low emission fuel significantly more accessible for carriers.
7 planned LNG filling stations in the initial network design
Up to roughly 80% of Czech territory covered by the designed LNG infrastructure
Optimal placement of stations along the main long haul truck transit routes across the Czech Republic
Carrier cost and network simulation for Elektrowin
Logio delivered a carrier cost model and network simulation for Elektrowin, validating toll impacts and arming the team with negotiation‑ready savings scenarios.
+0.6 % year‑on‑year toll impact on total transport costs
Questions about specialized logistics
Yes. For GasNet we analyzed freight flows and used distribution modeling to place LNG stations along the main transit routes.
