to sustainability. Our efforts to separate and reuse paint align with our upcoming sustainability strategy, which is set to be fully launched in summer this year,” he continues.
Beyond enhancing transparency and communication with customers, CPD’ s eagerness to adopt cutting-edge innovations has empowered the company to boost its range of all-electric vehicles.“ When it comes to all-electric vehicles, there are key considerations regarding the regulations around storage. In response to this, we are actively working towards developing solutions that address these challenges with partners like the VBRA. Collaborating closely with original equipment manufacturers( OEMs), we are striving to ensure that the modifications we make to these vehicles not only meet the necessary regulatory standards but are also suitable for our end users. Having met and exceeded the Zero Emission Vehicle( ZEV) mandate with the number of electric vehicles we introduced last year, we are committed to maintaining this momentum in 2025. Despite the current challenges surrounding the adoption of electric vehicles in the LCV market, which are similar to those faced by hydrogen-powered technologies, we are determined to continue leading the way in this space,” Tom informs.
The company’ s focus on sustainability has led it to explore electric and hydrogenpowered vehicles, both of which hold great promise for reducing the environmental impact of LCVs. CPD is committed to staying ahead of regulatory changes and ensuring that its vehicles meet the highest environmental standards. By working closely with industry experts and regulatory bodies, CPD is helping to drive the transition to cleaner, more sustainable vehicle options for businesses across the UK.
Reflecting on the LCV market’ s compatibility with hydrogen technologies, Tom points out the obstacles making the adoption of such technologies difficult.
