DHL Supply Chain “supporting Aston Martin with cleaner, more sustainable vehicles”

DHL Supply Chain has announced the introduction of 8 bio-LNG trucks into its Aston Martin fleet, reducing carbon emissions by around 800 tonnes per year.

The new Volvo FH 460 Globetrotter LNG tractor units will directly replace 8 diesel trucks in the Aston Martin operation, supporting both DHL’s GoGreen plan and Aston Martin’s Racing.
