  • All goods are highly secured with suitable load restraints.
  • Our highly trained drivers and staff ensure careful loading, handling and unloading of your goods.
  • Our trucks meet regulatory standards for safety, efficiency and reliability.

We’re sustainability conscious

While we recognise we drive diesel trucks, we’re committed to reducing emissions and minimising our environmental footprint in any way that we can.

  • 50% more fuel efficient than 40 years ago
  • Lower fuel consumption and emissions due to quality trucks
  • Aiming to offset our emissions through owned land completely
  • Minimum Euro V compliant since 2022 – now entering Euro VI

What are Euro V and Euro VI?

Euro V and Euro VI are emissions standards set by the European Union. Euro V standards were introduced in 2011, requiring vehicles to meet certain limits on emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter. Euro VI was introduced in 2012 with even stricter limits.

Euro V limits

  • NOx – 0.18g/km
  • CO – 0.5g/km
  • PM – 0.005g/km
  • HC+NOx – 0.23g/km
  • PN [#/km] – 6.0×10 ^11/km

Euro VI limits

  • NOx – 0.08g/km
  • CO – 0.5g/km
  • PM – 0.005g/km
  • HC+NOx – 0.17g/km
  • PN [#/km] – 6.0×10 ^11/km
