Alfreton-based temperature-controlled specialist NFT Distribution has taken delivery of 30 Volvo FM tractor units, all with Euro 5 engines. The firm has invested almost £3m in new vehicles as it strives to improve its environmental performance.
NFT national fleet engineer David Seaton says: "We have pledged to upgrade our shared user network vehicle fleet every two years, with half the 100-vehicle fleet being changed each year to accommodate this."
The green strategy also encompasses
alternative fuels and the firm is running its fleet on a 5% bio-fuel mix. It has also limited its vehicles to 52mph to cut fuel consumption.
