FTA launches 2015 Logistics Carbon Reduction awards 04 December 2014

FTA (the Freight Transport Association) has launched the LCRS (Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme) Awards for 2015.

The awards, now in their fifth year, are designed to recognise the efforts made by scheme members to reduce their freight-related carbon emissions by, for example, improved fuel efficiency, using alternative fuels and innovative technologies.

This year there are six categories:
Fuel efficient operator of the year (sponsored by Bridgestone)
Excellence in modal shift (sponsored by Intermodality)
Green fuel and technology operator of the year
Logistics carbon innovator of the year
Leader in logistics carbon reduction
Smaller fleet operator of the year.

"We are delighted to be launching the awards for 2015, including one new category designed to celebrate the efforts made by smaller fleet operators, especially as the LCRS celebrates its fifth anniversary this month," comments Rachael Dillon, FTA's climate change policy manager.

"The Awards signal to customers, stakeholders, policymakers and the public that the freight industry is making significant efforts to contribute to solving the climate change challenge."

The LCRS Awards will be presented at FTA's annual Logistics Carbon Reduction Conference, on 13 May 2015.
