Craigavon-based logistics company Manfreight Limited has rolled out a major upgrade to its vehicle fleet as part of a multi-million funding injection from Lombard, including introducing its first all-electric semi-trailer.
Manfreight lease purchased 50 new Volvo FH500 Aero Trucks and 100 Schmitz Cargobull trailers.
These additions to its 900-strong fleet mark a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to achieve net zero emissions by 2045, while improving fuel efficiency and on-road performance.
One of the UK and Ireland’s largest privately owned logistics companies, the expansion of Manfreight’s fleet follows the 2024 opening of its state-of-the-art chilled warehouse in Belfast Harbour, which features advanced refrigeration systems and integrated solar infrastructure.
Commenting on the investment Chris Slowey, Managing Director at Manfreight, said: “We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable logistics – and by integrating the latest green technologies into our operations, we are not only supporting Belfast Harbour’s Net Zero commitment, but also providing our customers with reliable and sustainable transport solutions.”
