The award is given to a freight industry company which has pioneered and invested in environmental schemes.<\/p>\n
Against stiff opposition, ABP won the award for reducing fuel consumption and lowering the emissions from their reach stackers. Martin Philpott, ABP\u2019s Manager of Inland Operations said: \u201cIn an ever changing and competitive world, reducing operating costs linked with concern for the environment is of paramount importance to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe improved performance has resulted in a one-third reduction in fuel consumption and an annual financial saving of around \u00a384,000. ABP also saved 163,000 litres of fuel which would have produced a further 436 tonnes of CO2 emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since ABP acquired the 11- hectare Hams Hall Terminal in 2002, an ongoing expansion programme has seen operational capacity treble. Hams Hall can load and unload up to 1,000 containers a day. Situated four miles outside Birmingham, the terminal is adjacent to the Nuneaton \u2013 Birmingham rail line, which links into the rail network covering a range of UK ports and the Channel Tunnel. The location of ABP Hams Hall also provides easy access to M1, M6, M42 and M69 motorways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
