Mobile Vans Reduce Carbon Emissions By Almost 100%

A report from Bullwell Trailer Solutions has published the results of an environmental report which concludes that the company’s mobile vans result have achieved a 97% reduction in carbon emissions when compared to competitors.

The report, conducted by Green Dart Consulting, was commissioned by Bullwell to measure its carbon emissions and quantify the effect its green policies have on clients’ environmental performance.

Bullwell’s business model is based on the fact that, rather than drivers having to take their HGVs to the nearest workshop, those vehicles with the lowest carbon emissions should do the travelling.

Carbon reduction is an intrinsic part of business policy for Bullwell, which has invested over £1 million to ensure the company’s green credentials remain at the top of its agenda.

The report showed that, when compared to its workshop-based competitors, Bullwell reduces carbon emissions by an average of 75% for trailer servicing and MOTs (based on four client case studies, with one showing a reduction of 97%).

This reduction is equivalent to emissions of 90 kg CO2 per trailer per year for servicing and MOT, meaning that a customer with a fleet of 200 trailers will be saving over 18 tonnes CO2 each year by using Bullwell Trailer Solutions.

On average, including both routine and repair work, Bullwell emits 30 kg CO2 per trailer per year (servicing and MOT) and 56 kg CO2 per job.

Kevin Tomlinson, finance director of Bullwell Trailer Solutions, said: “We believe environmental issues are an important part of being the best. ”

“We therefore decided to commission and voluntarily publish details of the company’s carbon emissions in order to demonstrate best practice within the industry and to identify potential carbon savings to our current and future customers.”

Bullwell manages in excess of 5,000 vehicles (including HGVs, and PSVs), utilising its network of 55 mobile engineers located across the country, from Glasgow to Exeter. It has a number of blue-chip clients including DHL, Royal Mail and TK Maxx.
