Throughout 2025, sustainability remained at the heart of everything we did - and collaboration was key to achieving our net zero goals.

We welcomed 24 new electric-powered trucks into our fleet, capable of operating at more than 40 tonnes and expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 2,400 tonnes annually 🚛

To support these vehicles, we rolled out depot-based charging infrastructure across key sites, designed and built in partnership with VOLTEMPO and GRIDSERVE.

We continued to learn from our extensive participation in the Electric Freightway and eFREIGHT 2030 consortia under the pioneering ZEHID programme.
