the UK’ s first fully electric refrigerated fleet means rethinking everything, from how we power our units to how we position our business,” Tom states.“ Investing in Sunswap’ s units is a key component of our comprehensive plan to eliminate diesel from our refrigerated operations. What’ s even better is that the units are fully powered by the sun, as they are recharged by our 200-kilowatt rooftop solar installation at our Evesham depot while the trailer-top solar panels generate power during deliveries to minimize the need for charging.”
From speaking with Tom, it’ s clear to see that Bannister is truly committed to operating the UK’ s first zero-emissions refrigerated fleet, demonstrating the real possibilities the UK’ s transport sector can achieve with determination and strategic investments. Offering his thoughts on Bannister’ s future, Tom says:“ The end of 2025 and beginning of 2026 will see us focus on the implementation of our new fleet, as well as the expansion of its renewable energy initiatives. As environmental impact is a key part of our agenda, we’ ll continue to prioritize sustainability and efficiency.
“ Further afield, we’ re striving for Bannister to be a leader in sustainable logistics over the next five years, with a fully electric fleet and a significant reduction to our carbon footprint. I also envision us expanding our services as we continue to set new industry standards for environmentally responsible transportation.
“ Bannister is dedicated to innovation and excellence in temperature-controlled distribution,” Tom concludes.“ We remain committed to our core values of quality, reliability, and customer service, while continuously striving to reduce our environmental impact and support local communities.” ■
