Keeping your fleet moving

Every day, thousands of lorries can be seen on Ireland’s roads transporting goods, such as groceries, fuel, livestock, machinery and vehicles, between suppliers and large consumer outlets, factories, warehouses or distribution centres.

These modern-day leviathans dominate the inside lane of motorways, working around the clock to deliver vital supplies to businesses throughout the island of Ireland, representing the very lifeblood of society.

Despite the current economic climate and increasing operating costs, haulage companies have remained resilient and continue to thrive. In many cases, this achievement can be attributed to the adoption of a flexible business model, which allows hauliers to maximise opportunities in the domestic market, with less focus on international logistics.

Making the change

Soaring fuel prices and the Irish government’s impending ban on the sale of new diesel HGVs by 2040 have prompted a seismic shift in the haulage industry. HGV Fleet operators have begun a gradual transition to cleaner and more sustainable energies, including hydrogen, liquid natural gas (LNG), biodiesel, biogas and electricity. Of course, this bold move will require a significant investment in new vehicle stock and supporting infrastructure at the depot.

Behind the scenes

The operations directors tasked with managing haulage fleets have to navigate many daily challenges in order to get loads delivered safely and on time to the customers. The well-documented driver shortage, albeit much less than it was, remains an issue and continues to cause logistical problems. However, it is the complex nature of maintaining depot equipment and servicing the vehicles that occupy the lion’s share of a fleet manager’s time.

It is imperative that fleet controllers capitalise on the introduction of advanced fleet management tools, to ensure operating efficiency and deliver cost reductions through data insight. By leading with technology to improve incident prevention within the haulage sector, fleet managers can be more effective than ever before.

Moreover, installing the requisite high-speed energy dispensers and associated storage tanks at the depot will alleviate the necessity of refuelling at local service stations, consequently saving time and money across the board.

As HGV operators embrace new energies, they must consider upgrading on-site equipment to keep pace with the restructuring of the fleet. Whilst at first, this appears to be a very costly exercise, it will ultimately have a positive impact on the fleet’s running costs and reduce the company’s carbon footprint in line with government policy.
