The Environment

With the arrival of our first 19t fully BEV rigid imminent and our new rapid-charger installed at Welch’s HQ, we’re making solid movements towards a more sustainable future – and setting new industry standards as we go!

Net Zero Microsite

Our carbon-tyre print is kept as small as possible by ISO 14001 incorporated alongside a modern, fuel-efficient fleet with up-to-the-minute telemetrics and routing software and ongoing training for all of our drivers.

Part of Welch’s Transport’s driver trainer role is monitoring and mentoring safe, efficient driving. Drivers have a significant impact on fuel consumption and alert, positive and professional drivers can reduce fuel use. This ensures vehicle emissions and operating costs are kept to a minimum whilst contributing to greater road safety and a cleaner business.

ISO 14001 has also helped shape the growth and development of Welch’s Transport: One of its initiatives, the Duxford depot truck wash, integrates an underground rain water reservoir and recycling system, reusing 85% of its water from each wash. With solar panels also covering all warehouse roof space, on a sunny day the Duxford depot will actually put energy back into the grid.
