McCulla Ireland bolsters biogas fleet
A £3.1 million investment was secured from Lombard for the addition of 25 new trucks to its fleet, including 11 powered by biogas, contributing to a 79% reduction in the operational carbon emissions of the haulier’s Northern Ireland operation.
A SECOND-GENERATION, family-owned business with facilities in Lisburn, Dublin and Mallusk, McCulla Ireland is a leading provider of ambient, chilled and frozen logistics and storage solutions in Northern Ireland and is the market leader for groupage coming from the UK onto the island of Ireland.
The credit facility from Lombard will enable McCulla Ireland to greatly improve its operational efficiency and substantially reduce its carbon emissions, with 85% of its Northern Ireland fleet now powered by the biogas produced by an anaerobic digester plant located at its Lisburn site. The biogas-run vehicles emit 93% less carbon than their diesel-run counterparts.
