Archbold Logistics has been awarded a maximum five star rating from the ECO (Efficient and Cleaner Operations) Stars fleet recognition scheme for the environmental performance of its fleet.

The free scheme recognises fleet operators who are using lower polluting vehicles and effective fuel management.

Archbold Logistics signed up a large number of Heavy Goods Vehicles to the scheme and was awarded the five stars rating after having their individual vehicles and overall road transport operation assessed to recognise levels of operational and environmental performance.

ECO Stars was launched in January this year by South Yorkshire’s air quality campaign, Care4Air, as part of the drive to improve the quality of air across the region.
