Welcoming over 40 #fmcg suppliers, exhibitors and industry experts to our decarbonising logistics showcase being held today at The Hub at DIRFT - learning about ALL currently available options towards net zero emissions: BEV, Bio-CNG, Bio-LNG and modal shift rail. Philip Roe, President of Logistics UK, gave an incredibly insightful yet direct keynote speech on how the UK logistics sector, as a contributor to the UK’s carbon emissions, has a key role to play in achieving the UK’s net zero goals. Delivering a strong message that although the Freight Energy Forum and ZEHID trials have begun, more is needed and it is clear that an urgent injection of pace is needed to meet the UK targets. Operators, manufacturers, energy providers and infrastructure companies all need to work together - we cannot wait for a magic bullet. Our delegates got plenty of opportunity to see, touch and experience a Volvo EV and a Nestle Bio-LNG Gas truck with a trip to the Gasrec refuelling station. As well as hearing from Freightliner on the innovation around a shift to rail, Malcolm Group's 'Scope 3 Strategy' and Project Jolt's joint operator trial for EVs. Thank you to everyone for coming, listening and asking the questions and we hope today's event will have helped continue your journey towards logistics decarbonisation. A final quote from Phil Roe "don't let perfect get in the way of good"....start now.
