According to XPO, the specialised LSTs boost capacity by 180% compared to a single deck trailer, improving operational efficiency and environmental performance.
XPO said the introduction of the vehicles will reduce CO2e emissions by almost 1,000 tonnes or seven million kilogrammes annually, representing “a further significant step towards XPO’s aim of carbon neutrality”.
Dan Myers, Managing Director – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, added: “We’re finding ways of improving our environmental performance through rigour, challenge and partnership. Step by step, we are decarbonising our customer’s supply chains.”
