DHL puts 18-t Volvo Hybrid into service
LAIL SUPPLY CHAIN UK has been showing off the first 18-tonne Volvo FE Hybrid to enter service in Europe. It joins a trial programme that includes 11 Smith Electric 7.5-tonners and a Modec.
Now on the second stage of a two-year trial, the Volvo is operating out of Hatfield on an NHS supply contract working two shifts within the M25. The first stage was 10 weeks on deliveries in the fashion sector. Early results have already shown a 10% fuel saving, despite much of the time having been spent on driver training. The overall target for the trial is 15%.
The Volvo trial is the latest part of DHIL's Go Green initiative, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions per pallet by 10% between 2007 and 2012, and 30% by 2020.
