Caring for our environment
Europa Worldwide Logistics has for some time recognised the necessity that we all need to act in order to help save the environment.
This we are able to achieve by careful management, without compromising our customer service and profits. To achieve this we have a modern fleet of vehicles which are commissioned on 3 and 5 year contracts.
This option allows us to be consistently at the forefront of vehicle technology. To compliment our existing fleet of vehicles which are already emission rated Euro 3 and Euro 4 (and many coupled to Auto gearboxes, which allows the vehicle to operate at maximum efficiency), new vehicles on order will arrive equipped with Euro 5 technology.
This replacement programme together with a comprehensive main dealer operated maintenance system enables the vehicles to be some of the cleanest and safest on the road today, giving out fewer pollutants than many cars and vans. Helping the environment does not stop at motorised vehicles, driver awareness and routing of vehicles to get the maximum amount of deliveries on behalf of our customers, with the minimum amount of miles travelled is always a priority. Retraining and up grading of drivers have allowed us to reduce the number of 7.5 ton vehicles on our fleet by 7 and replacing them with 4 x 12ton and 1x 18 ton vehicle.
Also 6 out of 12 of our trunk vehicles are double deck trailers, once again reducing the number of vehicles on the road. Finally Europa Worldwide Logistics has over the last three years embarked on a trailer replacement programme, the new trailers coupled with modern tyre technology give us a better coefficient of drag and less rolling resistance, this in turn gives us the ability to achieve a greater tyre life and better fuel returns, which means we are using less of the earths resources. Europa Worldwide Logistics continues to look at different ways to be commercially and ecologically sound and is looking at Bio fuels and other methods for the future.
