CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, announced April 13 that it has strengthened its U.K. transport network by introducing 165 new DAF trucks as part of a major fleet investment that expands capacity, enhances operational resilience and supports more sustainable road-transport operations across the U.K.  

These new additions to the fleet support a wide range of customer operations, helping CEVA maintain service continuity, improve efficiency and deliver consistently high service standards as demand for reliable transport solutions continues to grow in the U.K. market.    

CEVA redesigned the fleet with sustainability at its core to support the “CEVA FORPLANET” suite of low-carbon solutions, part of the company’s commitment to reaching net zero by 2050.  

Using hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), also known as renewable diesel, significantly reduces CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent compared with conventional diesel.  

This approach supports CEVA’s strategy to reduce environmental impact while maintaining operational performance and scalable road-transport solutions. 

CEVA also equipped all 165 vehicles with leading vehicle-technology solutions, providing drivers and operations teams with real-time insights that support safer, more efficient operations.  

The advanced telematics improve route optimization, enhance operational visibility and support driver well-being. 

The new DAF trucks feature advanced fuel-efficient drivetrains, aerodynamic cab design and the latest safety technologies, helping reduce fuel consumption while improving driver comfort and operational performance.  

CEVA said these specifications allow it to deliver reliable, high-quality transport services while continuing to provide low-carbon solutions in its road operations.  

CEVA introduced the vehicles in collaboration with vehicle supplier Ford & Slater and leasing provider TIP Group, significantly increasing the company’s U.K. vehicle footprint. 

“This investment demonstrates our long-term commitment to the U.K. market and to the customers who depend on us every day,” said Paul Farr, CEVA Logistics’ vice president of ground and rail for Europe. “By investing in a modern, lower-emission fleet supported by advanced digital technology, we are strengthening the reliability, quality and sustainability of our U.K. operations. As a strategic pillar of our corporate CSR strategy, we are committed to ‘acting for planet’ and will continue to invest in two carbon solutions that reduce emissions and enable our customers to meet their own decarbonization goals.”
