The first sustainable reality survey takes in 92 UK fleets. Three in five (61%) have put formalised sustainability objectives in place, while a further 27% expect to do so within the next 12 months. When asked why they viewed sustainability as important, nearly two-thirds (63%) responded that their interest stemmed either from concern for the environment or their corporate values. Comparatively, a much smaller number suggested that their concerns were purely business related. Among the most popular solutions already being used by respondents to improve the sustainability of their fleets are fuel-efficient tyres (67%). Michelin has secured a new three-year Effitires contract to supply, fit and manage the tyres across the Fred Sherwood Group's entire HGV fleet -totalling in excess of 650 trucks and trailers. It will be utilising Michelin's X Multi regional range for the trucks and trailers that operate predominantly on the road, and Michelin X Works fitments for its on/off-road fleet. As part of the new deal, dedicated Michelin technicians - who will be located on-site at the group's two main depots - will fit and maintain the tyres as well as carrying out regular fleet checks to help reduce downtime. |
