Selco Builders Warehouse has added Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles to its fleet to continue its journey to a more sustainable future.

Three of the vehicles will be Iveco Stralis 26 tonnes CNG Trucks, with the other being an Iveco Daily.

Richard Evans, head of transport operations at Selco Builders Warehouse, said: “This is an exciting development for us, and one which reaffirms our commitment to our sustainability targets.

“We have a long-term strategy to reduce our carbon footprint in the communities in which we operate, and this is a step on the road towards achieving that.”

Richard continued: “It’s hard to make any precise predictions on the potential size of the environmental benefits, but we are very confident these will be substantial, and the hope is this will be a successful pilot, which will then be rolled out across the rest of the business over time.

“A consultation is currently ongoing with regards to the introduction of a Clean Air Zone in Bristol and, with two of our 69 UK branches in the city, it’s an ideal place for us to trial this technology.”
