The Joint Operators Logistics Trial (JOLT) will test the real-world performance of battery electric trucks across 14 major UK fleets, including DP World\u2019s Swindon operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to leading the transition to a sustainable logistics sector,\u201d said Nicholas Mazzei, vice president, sustainability Europe, at DP World.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur participation in JOLT is another step toward building the cleanest, most sustainable fleet across the supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critical project<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The JOLT consortium brings together 14 fleets, three major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) Volvo, Scania and DAF, two leading universities, University of Cambridge (Engineering) and Heriot-Watt University (Logistics).<\/p>\n

It also includes other specialists including software manufacturers, network charging operators and electric fleet service providers. The project is funded by its participants.<\/p>\n

As part of the project, DP World will operate two fully electric HGVs for three months, gathering critical data on operational performance, battery range, charging infrastructure and cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n

If successful, DP World plans to order 45 electric HGVs for its automotive logistics operations and aims to transition 70% of its 802-strong European fleet to EVs by 2030.<\/p>\n

The operator\u2019s broader sustainability efforts include its Modal Shift and Carbon Inset Programme<\/a>. This has already moved over 100,000 container journeys from road to rail, cutting 25,000 tonnes of CO\u2082e and rewarded importers through over 150,000 teu registered in port carbon insets.<\/p>\n

DP World\u2019s dual approach also includes testing hydrogen fuel cell trucks in Germany, reinforcing its commitment to a sustainable supply chain and green logistics across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
