Research carried out by the Association of Car Fleet Operators (ACFO) shows that courier firms have begun to consider how environmentally friendly the vehicles in their fleet are.
The ACFO believes that due to the rise in fuel prices and the ever increasing congestion charges (which are often more costly for polluting vehicles), courier companies are looking for alternatives to inefficient vans.
One courier firm that has already taken environmental issues on board is Green Mile Couriers, they use vehicles that run on LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) which is not only kind to the environment (with lower CO2 and nitrogen oxide emissions) but also exempt from congestion charges.
If you own a courier firm or are a courier yourself, it is important to have the appropriate courier insurance to cover your vehicle and the goods you transport.
