NIC have received the first of 10 new double deck trailers due into the fleet over the next few weeks. These multi-functional swan neck trailers allow maximised load fill and complete load build flexibility across multiple pallet types. Feeding into our continued ESG program these trailers offer significant reduction in trailer movements and carbon emissions.
The new trailers will be branded in the recently revamped logo and warm blue colours and will service the critical daily express movements between Ireland and the UK. This significant infrastructure investment compliments our new UK head office facility in Coventry and supports increased market share and customer demand.
Based on capacity utilisation of our new double deck trailers versus capacity of standard straight frame trailers traditionally used in the freight industry we have achieved an efficiency rate of 41% in trailer usage which itself has delivered significant Co2 emission reductions. Our new state of the art double deck trailers are core to our ESG journey and we will evolve towards specific measurements delivering tangible reduction of Scope 1 emissions.
