Ringway invests £2.5m in green electric fleet and plant

ongoing

Ringway, the specialist highway services company, has been fast tracking its way towards its target of 40% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2030, delivering greener ways of working. Since September 2020, Ringway has invested nearly £2,540,000 into electric fleet and plant and nearly £145,000 on EV charging points. Zero emission vehicles have been made available across all levels of the business, saving an estimated amount of 400kg of CO² per day with the vehicles currently in use. Electric charging points have been installed at 17 depots so far, with plans to have multiple EV points at every highway service depot by 2025, to support the continuing electric commercial vehicle roll out. In addition to creating cleaner options, they are also challenging the need for commercial vehicles and have been encouraging the use of e-cargo and EAV cargo bikes, plus greater use of Oyster cards in Central London, which have been rolled out to minimise vehicle journeys, encouraging employee fitness and wellbeing where appropriate.
