XPO Logistics has hit upon a bright idea and invested in “intelligent” LED lighting systems across five million square metres of site surface space.

It said it expects to have the systems installed in approximately 75% of its total space in Europe by the end of next year.

The systems use sensors to adjust to natural light and activity levels, automatically detecting the optimal lighting for employees.

XPO estimates that when fully implemented the initiative has the potential to save 2,200 tons of CO2 per year – equating to the CO2 absorbed by 75,000 trees.

The company had already installed LEDs in around one million square metres of surface space prior to its roll-out several months ago.

Since then, an additional one million square metres of transport and logistics space has been fitted with the technology.
