Warburtons, known as ‘Britain’s Favourite Baker’, has been a committed user of NGVs for 10 years: 20 per cent of its 100-strong fleet of tractors already run on CNG and the company has its own fuel storage and filling facilities.
The new dual-fuel trucks are now working across the country, distributing the nation’s daily bread between Warburtons’ 14 bakeries and 13 satellite sites. Double-shifted, they are operating seven days per week and will average 100,000 miles per year.
“We’re committed to natural gas for environmental reasons – it’s a clean fuel that helps us to reduce our emissions and so meet our own carbon management and corporate social responsibility targets. But the trucks also had to make financial sense for our business, and a dependable warranty is a key part of that equation,” said Group Transport’s manager Mark Sutcliffe.
