Well what a night we had at prestigious 40th Motor Transport Awards. We were finalists in two awards up against some really good fellow finalists and I am delight and proud to announce Nicholls Transport won The Low Carbon Award. The award criteria was for significant progress in reducing carbon emissions, significantly improving the efficiency of our gas fleet, reducing empty running and improving load fill whilst reducing fuel consumption through driver performance.
Our LNG fleet are running on Biomethane sourced by ViGo Bioenergy who we have worked with very closely and we have produced up to 210% savings on GHG Emissions. The Nicholls Family, Alex Nicholls have continued to invest in new LNG and Electric trucks and paying more for biomethane which helps us save the planet. The whole Nicholls team have helped us achieve this win.
