Greener Transport

We genuinely care about nature and the environment, so we are dramatically reducing our carbon footprint – which is a very difficult task in the transport industry as vehicles are constantly emitting fumes into the environment. 

Many companies offset their carbon by using offshore wind-farm projects, for example in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. At EcoSpeed, we believed that this should be done on a local level. Investing in the environment in our surrounding towns and cities makes a lot more sense to us, and for this reason we partnered with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust for a decade.

As part of our continuous drive to reduce the impact of our operation on the environment we are constantly investing in new technology including fuel-efficient vehicles and speed-restricted vehicles. Some of our existing diesel fleet have had their engine systems re-mapped to reduce emissions by up to 27%.

We have a wide range of vehicles on our fleet to meet the most demanding customer needs, ranging from the most efficient of small vans to lorries for heavyweight haulage requirements. No matter what, we aim to support whatever consignment needs transporting, and we’ll decide which vehicle is right for you when you place your order.

Why Choose EcoSpeed as your same day courier?

We work tirelessly 24/7 to ensure your parcels get delivered on time and to the correct destination without any hassle.

With our huge range of vans, we can deliver any parcel you like. If you want to deliver large items and there are a number of them, then an 18 foot truck could be ideal for you. But if you only need smaller parcels to be delivered then one of our smaller vans are available to your dispense. 

As well as delivering your goods, our vehicles along the way are helping to save the environment with their reduced emissions dramatically limiting the carbon footprint. Which is no easy task, but we take pride in our environment and we want this to continue for as long as possible.
