Leaving a Better Future Behind
with UD Trucks
When it comes to commercial vehicles, UD Trucks is one of the world’s leading manufacturers. UD Trucks has built its reputation on designing and building diverse transportation solutions for a range of industries. But as the world continues to evolve and sustainability standards increase, it’s critical that logistic vehicle manufacturers keep up with these demands – after all, we only have one planet.
UD Trucks has developed a new line of trucks that aims to raise the sustainability standard for transport solutions. These new trucks are helping combat new customer challenges while delivering products in a manner that minimizes environmental impact and thus contribute to a sustainable future.
To meet this goal, UD focuses on three key areas: productivity, planet, and people. This is a promise they’ve made to adhere to sustainable business practices that can benefit the whole planet and to create long-term value for its clients.
The future is sustainable and UD Trucks wants your company to stay ahead of the game by helping you do the following:
- Reduce environmental impact.
- Use the most innovative vehicles.
- Be a socially responsible business.
UD Trucks also aims to create a circular economy by minimizing the amount of waste and turning old equipment into new ones.
Lower Carbon Emissions
In line with UD Trucks’ goal of improving the planet, they have two focus areas to ensure that they hold up their end of the bargain. These two key areas are business activities and product lifecycle.
Learn more about these two focuses below.
Business Activities
UD Trucks aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, this is why they’re looking to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of all their production plants. In line with this goal, UD Trucks has installed highly efficient machines in their factories and are purchasing power from sustainable companies.
By purchasing electricity from only renewable energy resources, UD Trucks puts the planet first and encourages renewable energy suppliers that there is, indeed, a market for their products and that big corporations are willing to make the switch to renewable energy.
Product Lifecycle
UD Trucks’ research includes analyzing the environmental impacts of each of its vehicles at every stage of its lifecycle. From designing and manufacturing to disposal and recycling, UD Trucks has monitored the effect of these on the environment.
The research conducted by UD Trucks has concluded that most carbon dioxide emissions occur during the utilization stage. This is when companies are using UD Trucks to deliver their goods. The spike in carbon dioxide emissions is huge and thus, UD Trucks aims to remedy the increased CO2 emissions by improving the fuel efficiency of its units.
Aside from improving the vehicle’s energy efficiency, UD Trucks also holds seminars for truck drivers to give them realistic advice and tips on eco-friendly driving.
Zero Net Waste in All Operations
As we’ve mentioned above, UD Trucks takes the environment seriously and one way to do this is by achieving zero net waste in all parts of its operation. Aside from purchasing renewable energy from suppliers, UD Trucks also remanufactures broken UD parts to give them a second life.
These actions may be small but, the accumulation of these efforts has amounted to less waste.
Reducing Waste
UD Trucks is always looking for new ways to disassemble and to reuse its resources to make a circular economy.
The company implements this by equipping every UD Trucks dealer with a certified disposal facility that sorts truck waste during its disassembly.
