IAA Transportation 2024 sets the stage for a strategic cooperation between the German market leader for van-racking systems, Sortimo, and the leading Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, BYD. Both companies are pooling their expertise and presenting solutions for light commercial vehicles at the BYD stand at the IAA Transportation that are specially tailored to the requirements of the CEP sector (courier, express and parcel services) and trade businesses.
This partnership relies on the unique combination of BYD's zero-emission electric vehicles and Sortimo's customized in-vehicle equipment, which not only maximizes operational efficiency but also offers sustainable and economic benefits. Together, Sortimo and BYD aim to help companies increase their productivity while reducing their environmental footprint. In view of the growing order volumes in the CEP sector, efficiency is crucial - every minute counts, especially when delivering in dense traffic. The well thought-out design and the safe and maximum use of loading space can be a decisive competitive advantage for CEP service providers.
FlexRack 2.0: Flexibility and ease of use in the delivery vehicle
The new BYD E-VALI presented at the IAA Transportation features the FlexRack 2.0 folding rack from Sortimo, one of the most important innovations for CEP vehicles. It was developed not only to meet the requirements of the industry, but also to make the day-to-day work of delivery drivers considerably easier. The precise adaptation to the vehicle structure, the individually configurable shelves and the intuitive one-hand operation enable drivers to organize their work processes more efficiently and make optimum use of the loading space.
The integrated Sortimo ProSafe system ensures effortless and simple load securing, which enables faster and more efficient work in hectic everyday delivery operations. Innovation through automation: Sortimo ProPartition Move for greater convenience and safety Another highlight of the CEP solution presented is the ProPartition Move - an automatic partition door that significantly speeds up the delivery process and makes it safer: the door opens automatically when the driver gets up from his seat and closes again as soon as he takes his seat. This automation saves around 10 seconds at each delivery stop, saving around 30 minutes with a daily volume of 200 stops. For companies, this means a significant increase in productivity as more deliveries can be made. At the same time, the automatic separation of the driver and load compartments increases safety during the journey and reduces the risk of accidents. An enormous competitive advantage in the dynamic CEP market. SR5 Reduced to Max van racking system for tradesmen's requirements The cooperation also offers clear advantages for craft businesses. The SR5 van racking system from Sortimo, which is used in the BYD craftsman's vehicle on display at the IAA, provides a well thoughtout solution for organizing tools and materials. The modular system ensures customized adaptation to individual needs, which increases work efficiency on a daily basis. The lightweight design of the SR5 Reduced to Max also helps to increase the range of electric vehicles - another advantage that is particularly important in the skilled trades sector. Efficiency and sustainability for both companies By combining BYD's zero-emission electric vehicles and Sortimo's intelligent mobility solutions, companies in both the CEP and trade sectors benefit from increased efficiency and reduced operating costs. At the same time, they help to reduce fuel consumption and thus improve the environmental balance. These sophisticated solutions offer a future-proof and sustainable answer to the increasing demands in the logistics and trade sector.
