Sustainability

As one of our three core values, sustainability in all its forms guides EV Cargo’s global operations and we have become the first logistics company in the UK to have our decarbonisation targets validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.

Taking a ‘fewer miles and friendlier miles’ approach, we have pioneered initiatives to reduce emissions across customer supply chains, including switching over 5 million delivery km from traditional diesel to HVO fuel, reducing emissions in associated vehicles by 90%.

Fewer Miles
Network efficiency, moving the same volume of freight for our customers using fewer miles by maximising cube utilisation and load fill, minimising empty and unplanned miles and maximising modal switch.

Friendlier Miles
Emissions efficiency, running the miles we do use with fewer emissions by switching to alternative sustainable fuels, maximising the fuel economy of our truck drivers and minimising the average age of our fleet.

Hear from our 4PL experts:

“

4PL is an agile and cost-effective alternative to traditional 3PL road haulage services. When you think about arranging the delivery of your goods, you would probably expect to call up a haulage company, and they will use their own trucks to transport the products. However, the 4PL transport model involves us using a range of third party haulage fleets to get your goods where they need to be.

”

“

There are a whole host of benefits to this 4PL transport model. By relying on our network of trusted partners, we maximise the use of a single truck. Considering a single truck’s overheads includes a driver, fuel and maintenance costs to name a few, we want to make sure that every mile counts, and that trucks aren’t sitting idle in depots when demand is low. We look at where thousands of trucks are, the capacity they have and where they are going.

”

“

This smarter use of fleets is more operationally efficient and therefore cost effective, and we share these commercial and service benefits with our customers. Our long-standing relationships with some really good carriers across the country are built on years of dependable service and trust. The team of people here at EV Cargo make sure that the service you receive is fantastic.

”

“

We use cutting edge in-house developed technology to harness the power of a wide range of fleets across the country, we have access to a diverse range of road freight couriers travelling across the country.
