Sustainability priorities

Sustainability is at the core of how we operate. From the equipment we run to the way we plan, move and maintain, we are focused on reducing emissions, improving efficiency and driving positive change.

Higher payloads,
fewer movements

Our high-capacity vehicles carry more material per trip, reducing the number of movements on the road, traffic congestion and overall emissions.

CO₂

Lower emissions
per tonne

Moving more with fewer trucks means lower fuel consumption and lower emissions per tonne of material delivered.

Modern Euro 6
fleet

Our Volvo FM and FMX trucks feature Euro 6 technology, significantly reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulates.

Smarter, safer,
greener

Through innovation, technology and driver best practice, we are building a cleaner, more sustainable transport operation.

The Volvo Difference

Our Volvo FM and FMX Euro 6 trucks are built with advanced technologies that reduce environmental impact while delivering reliable performance on the toughest jobs.

Euro 6 emissions benefits

Compared with Euro 5 engines, Volvo Euro 6 technology delivers:

Up to80%less NOx
Up to50%less particulate matter
Up to5%better fuel efficiency*

*Depending on application and operating conditions.

Efficiency through scale

More material.
Fewer movements.

High-productivity combinations allow us to carry more material in each movement. That means fewer trips, less congestion, more efficient project delivery and a lower environmental impact per tonne transported.

High capacity
59t

A-Double combinations

Our highest-capacity combinations maximise payload efficiency on approved routes and large-volume projects.

Reduced movements
35k+

Tonnes moved daily

Efficient fleet planning and high-capacity equipment help reduce the number of vehicle movements required.

Modern operation
18 mo.

Average fleet age

A younger, predominantly Euro 6 fleet supports lower emissions, improved fuel efficiency and reduced unplanned maintenance compared with older heavy vehicles.

Technology and people

Smarter fleet operations

Environmental performance extends beyond engine technology. Our operational approach combines modern equipment, preventative maintenance, route planning, driver training and performance monitoring.

01
Route and load optimisation

Planning efficient routes and matching equipment to payload requirements reduces unnecessary kilometres and idle time.

02
Driver performance

Safe, smooth and efficient driving supports lower fuel use, reduced wear and improved whole-of-fleet performance.

03
Preventative maintenance

Regular maintenance keeps vehicles operating efficiently and helps extend the productive life of our equipment.

04
Continuous improvement

We review operational data, technology and equipment options to identify practical opportunities for improvement.
