FP McCann Driving Carbon Reduction with Electric & Gas Powered Vehicles

As part of FP McCann’s ongoing sustainability strategy to achieve net zero, we continue to take steps to replace our fleet of diesel fuel vehicles with more environmentally friendly, low-polluting alternatives.

We have recently purchased several new forklift trucks to add to the existing fleet of low emission vehicles. Electric forklift trucks for our Byley depot in Cheshire and for our Knockloughrim facility in Magherafelt, as well as gas forklift trucks for our Weston Underwood manufacturing facility in Derbyshire and for our Cadeby site in Warwickshire.

As well as significantly reduced running costs, LPG produces up to 45% less CO2 than diesel. The electric truck omits zero emissions and noise pollution is significantly lower in comparison to diesel engines.  Electric trucks also have fewer moving parts that can break or get damaged, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
