EcoTransIT World - Global Freight & Transport Emissions Calculator
Carbon Accounting
EcoTransIT World is a transport-emissions calculation software that enables shippers, carriers, and logistics providers to quantify energy consumption, greenhouse gases, and air pollutants across all modes of freight transport worldwide. It supports intermodal chains (truck, rail, sea, air, inland waterway) and uses a globally-mapped routing and methodological database aligned with ISO 14083, the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol corporate standard. With its API or SaaS-based interfaces, the platform is designed for enterprises seeking consistent, science-based footprinting of global transport and supply-chain logistics.
