Gethin explains the reasons why the logistics industry is lagging behind when it comes to embracing eco-friendly initiatives . “ The haulage sector hasn ’ t had the best reputation for sustainability and certainly has its challenges but we ’ re doing positive things to change this . The desire to embrace change is key as well as having the right infrastructure in place . Logistics plays a critical role in society which we demonstrated during the pandemic when our industry stepped up to help grocery stores and hospitals with vital delivery needs .
“ We take our role in being a key driver in achieving change in the industry seriously . The overarching problem lies in leaders in the logistics industry often being reluctant to embrace change , as some are still grappling with electronic tachographs , tracking systems , and camera technology .”
Sustainability strategy
FSEW is on track to be diesel-free by the end of 2024 which is a big factor in the firm ’ s strategy . “ Presently , our key focus for future investments lies in fleet decarbonization . In January 2024 , we purchased ten 15.6-meterlong trailers , which are currently being utilized by two customers : Wepa and Tesco . These trailers allow the user to load between 24-to-60 extra pallets , thereby reducing the need for one out of every five deliveries . By minimizing the number of vehicles needed to complete a delivery , we can improve our customers ’ carbon footprint all while optimizing efficiency .
“ Since the introduction of our alternative fueled fleet in January 2022 we have removed 1,691,112.02 diesel miles off UK roads , that is the equivalent of travelling the globe 67.9 times , by removing these miles we have saved our customers a huge 1828.335 tCO2e
