Transport
Transport is an essential aspect of our business; from our HGV trailers delivering to our depots across the country to our fleet of vans that deliver directly to your practice, and our company cars which ensure that our sales team are on hand to support you when you need it most.
We are continually working to reduce the carbon footprint from our vehicle use and have been busy exploring the latest technology and ways to reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
Company CarsOur company car fleet now only contains hybrid or full-electric vehicles. This puts us well ahead of the Government's 2035 delivery plan for transitioning to zero-emission cars and vans.
Light Commercial Vehicles (Vans)Following successful trials, we’ll be introducing full-electric vans to our delivery fleet in 2024, where routes and geography allow. We also use smart journey planning to reduce our delivery miles.
HGV trailers We’re working on reducing our diesel consumption by trialling the use of regenerative braking/rolling resistance on the trailer axle as an alternative way to power the fridge units on our trailers, harnessing the kinetic energy that's already created by the vehicle.
Did you know?We've been encouraging our employees to choose a more sustainable form of transport by installing electric vehicle charging points, we also offer a Cycle To Work Scheme.
