DP World Advances Green Logistics with Electric Freight Expansion at Jebel Ali Port - Maritime Gateway
- Wincanton is adding 24 battery electric trucks to its UK logistics operations this year as part of its efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
- This investment contributes to Wincanton’s objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 and builds upon its current initiatives to reduce emissions across scope 1, 2, and 3.
- Wincanton has added 24 new electric trucks from manufacturers including DAF, Volvo, and Renault, each capable of handling loads exceeding 40 tonnes. To support these vehicles, the company is deploying charging facilities at major locations such as West London, Portbury, Glasgow, and Northamptonshire.

- The project, supported by UK Government funding through initiatives such as ZEHID and Electric Freightway, seeks to deliver practical experience that will help speed up the transition to emission-free freight transport and promote more sustainable supply chain practices.
