The Logistics Carbon Review 2017 – a report on LCRS members – also reveals that uptake of alternative fuels remains a challenge, with uncertainty over infrastructure and payback limiting adoption.
In 2016, LCRS members were also asked to provide the Euro standard breakdown for their vehicle fleet, and again are performing better than the industry average – more than 35% of member HGVs are already compliant with the Euro 6 emissions standards.
“This is a very exciting and challenging time for our operators,” says Christopher Snelling (pictured), FTA’s head of national and regional policy.
“There are increasing options for the electrification of our light commercial fleet, and I am positive that we can see some real change in the environmental performance of our HGV fleet in the years ahead.”
Terry Salter, truck and bus product manager for Bridgestone, report sponsor, adds: “Bridgestone cannot understate its ongoing partnership with the Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme, which plays a huge part in the brand’s plans to reduce carbon emissions.”
Membership of the LCRS is free and open to any business with at least one commercial vehicle (HGV or van).
