The old order changeth, yielding place to new as Lord Tennyson once put it may not hold true anymore. It has been BSA Company's mission to ensure that past glory lives on to see a new even brighter day. This is the case with Britain's oldest and perhaps most cherished brand - BSA. Not only are we resurrecting this legend, but we are also doing so in an el...

This project will trial 4 RCV vehicles in 2 different UK locations. All vehicles will be repowered with a full electric driveline supplied by Magtec. This drivetrain will be a lightweight version of the one used in the previous low carbon truck trial and almost half a tonne of weight will be saved which will mean that the vehicle is more efficient and wil...

This project will trial 81 dedicated gas HGVs ranging from 7.5 tonne to 44 tonne which are new to the UK market. Four vehicle manufacturers will be trialled across ten different vehicle configurations, creating a wealth of valuable data on vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, reliability and cost. When using CNG/LNG, CO2e savings of up to 8% can be achie...

TRIUMPH is a demonstration and study of zero emission capable trucks and refrigeration units in urban environments. Refrigerated urban delivery is a key component of the modern food distribution network and temperature controlled transport is highly polluting in urban environments. Zero emission technologies provide a solution to urban air quality and can...

Reducing air pollutant (NOx and PM) and CO2 emissions on UK roads is increasing priority for UK government, retailers, HGV hauliers and the general public. HGVs account for 17% of all UK road transport emissions; but the opportunities to significantly reduce their emissions in the near future are limited. The Reduced Emissions Logistics (Red-E-Log) projec...

Natural gas (methane) is an excellent low carbon fuel for Internal Combustion powered transportation, particularly when used in dual fuel solutions for powering HGVs. Existing engines have been readily modified and proven at Euro 5 and 6 level as part of an Innovate UK Low Carbon Truck Trial. Unfortunately methane, as a Greenhouse gas, is 20+ times more p...

This proposal is to develop an innovative service to enable collaboration in a shared freight transport logistics environment. We will bring location data and environmental data together with GPS, vehicle telematics, optimisation, image processing and mobile technology to create an innovative service to reduce empty freight runs, creating business opportu...

This proposal aims to "provide tools that enable intelligent, predictive modelling capabilities, including the integration and analysis of heterogeneous data types". Uniquely we will seek to bring together disparate data that is currently unconnected to create a platform allowing not only high value benefits to be derived by isolated data community member...

Led by Brit European with the support of CNG Services and Microlise, the environmental efficiency project puts in place a core regional fleet of heavy trucks to primarily distribute finished JCB construction and farm equipment. These Mercedes Actros vehicles operate Hardstaffs 'dual fuel' technology to reduce CO2 emissions by 15-18% dependent on vehicle o...
