There is no silver bullet for decarbonising our fleet of 217 trucks, vans and cars in the Hong Kong SAR. Challenges include a lack of refueling infrastructure, long payback periods, and regulations restricting the speed at which the market can adopt new technologies. We have already deployed some electric vehicles and are looking into vehicles using renewable fuel source.
Since 2020, we require all new trucks purchased to be 100% “biodiesel ready”, even if road-going vehicles are not yet permitted to use blends higher than B7.
In 2022, we installed solar PV panels on five trucks to power air conditioning, the tailgate and some accessories. The main goal was to make the cabin more comfortable for our drivers and delivery crew while the vehicle is waiting, without switching on the engine. While the annual GHG emissions avoided are modest, every little bit counts!
Every project is an opportunity to engage our suppliers and people in sustainability.
