Our environmental journey
New Zealand’s transport network is overloaded. More business is being done across a roading infrastructure that is struggling to retain integrity.
Beyond that, carbon imperatives are adding a new level of challenge to transport companies to achieve socially acceptable performance and economically sustainable outcomes.
Toitū
Charter Group has signed to the Toitu initiative - beginning the journey towards transforming carbon outcomes along our distribution network.
Responsible vehicle commission
Volvo trucks are renowned for their operational efficiency - as recognised world leaders in the production of heavy vehicles that are designed to optimise long term resource, performance and carbon outcomes.
Optimised vehicle programme
Charter has an extensive vehicle monitoring and performance programme. All vehicles connect via onboard sensors to performance software. Regular reviews, vehicle maintenance programmes and driver training initiatives ensure vehicle performance is optimised and environmental impacts are minimised.
Sustainable logistics
While Charter provides bespoke delivery solutions for specialised and oversize loads, regular routes and contracts are managed with priority given to maximising load opportunities, minimising transport under-utilisation and reducing unnecessary movements and carbon outputs.
