GRIDSERVE has started constructing the UK’s first public electric HGV charging hubs, marking a major milestone in the country’s transition to cleaner road freight. These new locations form the foundation of the Electric Freightway – a nationwide programme designed to give fleet operators access to high-powered, public charging designed specifically for electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs).

DP World has issued the first certificates from its groundbreaking Carbon Inset Programme, after more than 150,000 import containers were registered since its launch in January. 

 

The trial, which began on 1 January 2025, is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. It rewards cargo owners with 50kg CO2e of carbon credits for every loaded import container moved through DP World’s UK terminals. These credits help companies tackle Scope 3 emissions in their supply chains.

We recently took delivery of a brand new MAN TGX 26.520 to add to our growing fleet. This is the first MAN vehicle we have added to the fleet for over 10 years, and we hope to be adding more in the near future. 

 

This addition reinforces our commitment to investing into new equipment to align with our growth strategy, whilst improving our service offering to our customers. 

 

We are also committed to reducing our carbon footprint and adding more fuel efficient, lower emission producing vehicles to our fleet. This new addition as well as others, reaffirms this commitment for the long-term future sustainability of our operations. 

 

Even more vital goods will be transported across the UK by rail, following an ambitious target announced by Transport Secretary, Mark Harper, to grow rail freight by at least 75%.
