A new service to help vehicle fleets decarbonise operations effectively and swiftly is now available from Logistics UK’s Supply Chain Consultancy (SCC).
The solution is delivered by SCC’s expert consultants – with specialist support from decarbonisation expert Tim Campbell – and offers clients an in-depth operations review and tailor-made decarbonisation strategy.
Martin Palmer, supply chain consultant at SCC, explained: “All UK businesses will be required to replace their fleets with zero-emission vehicles (at the tailpipe) to meet the Government’s decarbonisation agenda: sales of new diesel HGVs will be banned by 2040, 2035 for those 26 tonnes and under, and petrol and diesel vans by 2030.
“However, there is a real shortage of independent, unbiased, bespoke and well-informed guidance available for logistics companies to utilise; Logistics UK’s Supply Chain Consultancy is addressing this space in the market with its brand-new service. Making the right investment choices now is essential to avoid costly consequences.”
The specialist consultancy service assesses customer requirements to establish operational, environmental and commercial objectives. Analysis of the questionnaire results and research is then developed into potential solutions and options to meet these objectives, before the recommendations are presented to the client. The process takes between three to five days to complete per client.
Tim Campbell of Campbells Consultancy commented: “When many commercial vehicle operators are looking to take their first steps in transitioning from diesel to zero tailpipe emissions, it’s important they are offered independent help and guidance at this crucial time in their journey and that’s the aim of this service.”
