AG enhance domestic delivery operations with modernised fleet
8th May 2024
Fivemiletown headquartered paving and building products firm, AG, has reinforced its dedication to delivering unparalleled service with the addition of five new state of-the-art lorry cabs to its domestic fleet.
The company, which has locations in Fivemiletown, Toome, Pomeroy and Carryduff, already has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry and is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations to an absolute minimum.
The new generation DAF XG 530 lorry cabs are equipped with the latest advancements in technology, featuring unmatched aerodynamics, market-leading fuel efficiency and advanced safety features.
The new additions will not only elevate AG’s delivery capabilities but also bolster its broader sustainability and wellbeing initiatives.
In 2021, AG committed to the Business in the Community’s Climate Action Pledge, agreeing to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 30% whilst beginning to tackle its Scope 3 emissions.
Having already surpassed their science-based targets as part of their public pledge, the firm remains dedicated to its decarbonaisation efforts, with the updated fleet poised to make a significant contribution to their 2024 emission reduction goals.
Pioneering the adaptation of the latest EU regulations regarding lorry cab masses & dimensions, the modernised fleet is also in accordance with the objectives outlined in the updated Vehicle General Safety Regulation framework.
The legislation encompasses a range of mandatory advanced driver assistant systems to help improve road safety and is expected to save over 25,000 lives and avoid 140,000 serious injuries across the EU by 2038.
“We are thrilled to introduce the new DAF XG lorry cabs to our fleet”, remarked Stephen Acheson, CEO. “They epitomise the next generation of delivery vehicles, offering unmatched performance and safety. By investing in these state-of-the-art trucks, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering exceptional service to our customers while minimising our environmental impact.”
