GET 
/company/minimal/co2

Calculate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for freight transportation between an origin point and a destination point. It allows for assessing the environmental impact of logistics operations.

Objective​

Provide accurate CO2 emission calculations to support sustainability initiatives, environmental reporting, and optimization of eco-friendly routes in freight transportation.

Use Cases​

  • Generate environmental impact reports for transport operations
  • Compare CO2 emissions between different route options
  • Track carbon footprint on corporate sustainability dashboards
  • Optimize routes to minimize environmental impact
  • Comply with environmental regulations and reporting requirements

Calculation Method​

The CO2 calculation takes into account:

  • Total route distance (in kilometers)
  • Cargo weight and volume
  • Vehicle type and average fuel consumption (32L/100km — fixed for CO2 calculation)
  • Fuel type and emission factors
  • Note: tolls are NOT included in the CO2 calculation

Parameter Priority​

The endpoint accepts location identifiers in multiple formats. Order of priority:

  1. id (auction_id): Uses the pickup/delivery addresses from the auction
  2. idEtl/idEtd: Uses addresses by database ID
  3. zipcodeStart/zipcodeEnd: Uses postal codes to find the nearest address
  4. coordsStart/coordsEnd: Uses GPS coordinates (lat,lng format)
  5. countryOrigin/countryDestiny: Country codes for routing

At least one pair of location identifiers must be provided.

Error Responses​

  • 400: Invalid parameters, missing required fields, or incompatible identifier combinations
  • 404: Auction or addresses not found
  • 500: External routing service error
