embrace and comply with industry trends and regulations . At the moment , the company is heavily focused on fostering more environmentally responsible logistics , as Dan points out . “ All of our fleet is now Euro 6 compliant and modernized . However , the technology for adequate electric vehicles ( EVs ) is not yet viable enough for use by logistics businesses like ours , considering the need for long-distance travel and high mileage , which makes EVs impractical . For our primary client , Konica Minolta , a leading manufacturer of print hardware , we operate with dedicated vehicles for collection and trunking . These vehicles are powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil ( HVO ), resulting in emissions reductions of over 90 percent . We use these trucks for the daily collection from Konica Minolta ’ s facility in Basildon and the nightly trunking of equipment from Iver to Warrington . In other words , a significant portion of our work is carried out in an environmentally friendly manner , given that Konica Minolta is our largest customer .
“ Furthermore , we are ISO 14001 accredited , demonstrating our commitment to the environment . A large part of our operations involves unpacking the equipment we deliver and subsequently removing the associated packaging and recycling it on behalf of our customers . To facilitate this process , we have on-site cardboard balers , ensuring that shrink wrap , wood , and all other materials are separated before they are recycled . As a result , our clients also operate in an environmentally friendly manner through the sustainable handling of packaging materials we remove on their behalf .”
Thanks to its sophisticated fleet and commitment to the environment , Relay redefines the standards of delicate goods transportation . Its journey from modest beginnings to market leadership is a testament to the company ’ s innovative spirit and relentless focus on customer satisfaction . ■
