The operator’s 500-strong fleet comprises DAF, MAN, Mercedes-Benz and Renault trucks, and the low-emission vehicles can enter any of the UK’s low emission zones without penalty.
“Urban deliveries are an important part of our work and it’s essential we can operate in any part of the country without additional cost – something we have guaranteed by having a full Euro VI fleet,” says Adam Purshall, head of fleet and procurement.
He adds that reducing carbon emissions from the fleet is a “huge part” in the company’s stated longer term goal of operating with zero waste, zero harm and zero environmental impact.
As well as upgrading the fleet, the operator says it has reduced its carbon footprint by better driver training, more efficient routing and backloading.
