Hi Ariadna, yes, technically it is possible, we need to put together several details like distance, routing, type of truck and fuel, load etc and we can provide that information. It would be important to compare the carbon foothprint with the actual load of the truck in order to calculate the CO2 produced for the transport of the crates/artworks more than the truck itself.
I remember that few years ago I attended a conference and a presentation on sustainability, carbon footprint and truck transportation ... the presenter couldn't believe that very often we are transporting only one (or few) crate(s) in one large truck ... but this is our industry and we have also to consider many other aspects like values, insurance, deadlines ... I think there is a lot to talk and discuss to improve sustainability of our industry. But we have to !
