INT Logistics UK Celebrates Their 3rd Birthday

INT Logistics UK is celebrating their 3 year anniversary today!

 

Here’s how their journey has gone so far…

 

The beginnings

In 2015, after a total of over 70 years combined experience of working in the Transport/Logistics industry, joint CEOs Norman and Tracey Ives decided it was about time to create something brilliant of their own.

With a passion for providing friendly, honest and efficient services, INT Logistics UK was born and has been thriving ever since.

                                             

The good, bad and the ugly

It hasn’t always been an easy ride, with long hours and lots of grey hair – but what we have achieved with the help of our team is amazing.

Over the years we have expanded our ever-growing fleet and embraced new technologies within Transport. We have contributed towards a variety of projects including helping young people to enter the transport industry, environmental improvements to the fleet and have been a proud sponsor of Kidsafe, supporting young children to stay safe on the roads.

 

 

The future

What started as a simple idea has blossomed into a successful business three years down the line. INT is proud to be an equal employer who hold no discrimination against the age, gender, race or disability of their staff, and they look forward to the future generation of transportation.

Working in the transport industry is not always an easy ride, particularly with Brexit on the horizon, but INT are ready to take on the challenge and see a long and prosperous future as they continue to expand their business.

Clean Air Day 2018

INT Logistics UK celebrates Clean Air Day 2018

For Clean Air Day 2018 we’ve been thinking about how to reduce our emissions.

Heavy duty vehicles contribute to 5% of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions, but with a few tricks up our sleeve, we’re working towards changing this.

Here are our top five ways:

1) Driver training: we only employ the best drivers at our company – effective driving can reduce co2 emissions by up to 7%.

2) Fleet renewal: we use the latest fuel-efficient Euro-6 trucks – fleet renewal is the quickest way to reduce emissions. At the moment, about 98% of all lorries rely on Diesel, but many manufacturers have announced their plans for zero emission vehicles.

3) Rigorous and effective planning: each journey our trucks make is meticulously planned by our team of successful Transport Planners, covering only the miles we need to.

4) Effective loading of trailers: when possible we see that our trailers are not left with any disused empty spaces.

5) Looking after our trucks: regular servicing and tyre pressure checks keep our trucks in tip-top condition, therefore reducing emissions.

Clean Air Day has also provoked several proposals concerning Clean Air Zones throughout the country.

Southampton are proposing to charge all non-Euro VI lorries £100 to enter its Clean Air Zone, while Birmingham have announced plans to consult on a Clean Air Zone to cover all roads within the A4540 Middleway ring road. Other cities including Leeds and Edinburgh are also putting together similar plans.

The RHA have been campaigning against the introductions of charges for Euro V until the end of 2024 – however, the European Commission have proposed a drop of 15% of emissions from 2019 to 2025. What’s your take on clean air zones?
