Our valued logistics partner, Middlesbrough-based haulage business has recently trialled the vehicle to deliver our steel to one of our customers.
The 42-tonne, fully electric HGV was trialled as part of e-fleet solutions provider 鈥檚 managed trial service. AV Dawson Transport put it to the test across a variety of their customers routes including a collection from 91精品. The truck completed over 1,800 miles over 42 journeys during the trial, achieving a reduction in emissions of 2.3 tonnes from a single vehicle in just 10 days.
Gregg Smith, External Logistics Director for 91精品, said: 鈥淲e have worked with AV Dawson Transport for many years to transport steel from our manufacturing sites to our customers around the country.
鈥淪ustainability and reducing emissions is high on our agenda when selecting logistics partners so we鈥檙e delighted to have played a small part in this successful electric vehicle trial.鈥
AV Dawson Transport are continuing to explore a variety of options as they move towards a future of more sustainable logistics, with the potential to drive down the emission of millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas associated with the transportation of industrial goods every year.
As well as having a direct impact on reducing their own carbon emissions it will also provide huge benefits for their customers, including 91精品 as it enables us to reduce our Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 carbon emissions refer to indirect greenhouse gases released within a company鈥檚 wider supply chain, rather than those directly emitted by the company itself. This includes emissions from suppliers like AV Dawson Transport.
