Car Fleet Electrification

In the past three years we have made great strides towards the full electrification of our car fleet, with 92% of our cars now fully electric and a further 8% hybrid models. Our ambition remains to have a 100% electric car fleet once infrastructure is fully in place and operationally viable.

Commercial Vehicle Fleet

We operate a fleet in excess of 100 commercial vehicles (number of commercial vehicles and brand) with a replacement cycle of a maximum of 3 years and are already looking towards an EV future for our LCV’s in line with the government’s ZEV mandate to be 100% zero-emissions by 2035.

Improving Driver Behaviour with our ‘Smarter Driver’ App

We introduced the “Smarter Driver” app to commercial vehicle drivers in our Product Support Department to give drivers greater visibility and accountability for their driving behaviour; this is measured using a three-category scoring system of Smoother, Safer, Cleaner.

With this technology, we hope to make a significant reduction to our fleet carbon footprint and improve overall driving standards, improving road safety for ourselves and the wider network of road users.

Voltage Optimiser

In 2023, we invested in a Voltage Optimiser for our main production facility at our HQ in Hebburn. Since the equipment has been installed, we have saved 7968kg* of CO2. *(Figure correct as of May 2024).

Solar Panels

In 2022 we invested in solar panels for our Head Quarters in Hebburn with the aim to produce clean green renewable power. We continue to review adding solar panels to our buildings as we work towards a more sustainable and less polluting energy system.
