A Bristol company that packages a quarter of all wine sold in the UK is switching their HGV fleet to all-electric in an industry first.
The Park - which currently ships six million bottles of wine per week to customers - is a certified carbon neutral company and the first UK supplier to deliver goods to retailers using all-electric HGVs. It is the largest wine packaging facility in Europe, delivering 50,000 bottles per day to the likes of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Aldi.
It is leading the food and drink industry in sustainable production by introducing the FMCG industry's first electric HGV, becoming the final step of the production process, reducing the company’s carbon footprint even further. General Manager Richard Lloyd said sustainability was at the core of the business.
