The CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is an EU regulatory tool whose relevance to global trade will continue to grow over the coming years. Why? Because it introduces additional charges for CO₂ emissions related to the production of selected goods imported into the European Union. The aim of CBAM is to reduce the relocation of energy-intensive production outside the EU to countries with less stringent climate policies. The mechanism covers goods from sectors with a high carbon footprint – primarily steel, iron, and aluminium, which dominate the import structure under CBAM. In addition, the regulation also includes cement, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen. It applies to imports from third countries that are not part of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Exemptions apply to products originating from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland – countries integrated into the EU carbon market.

Logistics in the automotive sector involves much more than the transport of production components, parts, or spare equipment. It also includes the movement of finished goods – including passenger vehicles. At Rohlig SUUS Logistics, we provide a comprehensive service for importing cars from China to Poland. What does this project involve?

Central Asia is now one of the most promising regions on the global business map, experiencing robust economic growth and attracting a rising number of foreign investors, including from the European Union, China, and the United States. This growing interest spans many industries and reflects the strategic importance of the region. These countries are also actively engaged in the development of transport and logistics infrastructure, which has become one of the key foundations of Central Asia’s momentum. It is crucial for facilitating the flow of goods in local markets and positioning the region to play an increasingly important role in international trade.

Port of Constanța, Romania’s largest sea terminal and one of the most important in the Black Sea region, accounted for over 96% of the total cargo throughput handled by Romanian maritime ports in 2024. Its position is being further reinforced by parallel infrastructure investments exceeding EUR 250 million, including the expansion of quay areas, RO-RO and project cargo terminals, and modernization of both rail and road access. 

Poland's largest logistics operator has published its fourth sustainability report. The scope of the publication is based on a double materiality study conducted by the company, involving all stakeholders. The company is committed to transparency, which is why it has voluntarily published its reports for years. 

Precise route planning, selecting proper transportation solutions for oversized cargo, strict loading and unloading schedules, and the need for special permits across multiple countries—these were the key aspects of the transport service we carried out for a thermal desorption station weighing up to 28 tons from Romania to Spain.

Rohlig SUUS Logistics has launched a daily delivery service for aluminium profiles on behalf of Grupa Kęty S.A., operating between the company’s production facilities in Kęty and Bielsko-Biała. The transport is carried out using an electric truck – the eActros 300. This solution enables a 53% reduction in CO₂ emissions while maintaining full operational efficiency. The project aligns with the ESG strategies of both SUUS and Grupa Kęty S.A.

Implementing CO₂ emission reduction solutions is becoming a key element of the development strategy for many companies. More and more organizations are analyzing the carbon footprint of their supply chains and seeking tangible opportunities to reduce it. Green initiatives are not only a response to climate challenges but also a way to build a competitive advantage. Customers and business partners expect actions aligned with ESG principles, and companies that implement them gain real benefits: higher scores in tenders and on rating platforms (e.g., EcoVadis, SupplierAssurance), access to preferential financing (loans, grants, subsidies), lower operational costs, and greater interest from investors and customers.

Delivering components to production in the proper quantity, sequence, and time is critical to streamlining the manufacturing process. Therefore, in partnership with Valeo—a global leader in the automotive industry—SUUS has implemented a just-in-sequence logistics model.
