LONDON, December 10, 2010 - Eco Movers, part of the Cadogan Tate Group has won the Brunel
University sponsored 2010 business innovation award for its work in
developing a piece of web based software designed to lower carbon emissions
within the road transport industry. Wimbledon (
www.ecomovers.co.uk/wimbledon-removals) based Eco Movers was set up by
Cadogan Tate in 2008 as a testing ground for low carbon green technologies
that could be implemented within the wider global group of Cadogan Tate
companies. The award was presented to Eco Movers at the Park Royal
Partnership annual dinner held this year at Hurlingham Club.
Managing director of the Cadogan Tate Group, Jonathan Hood
collected the award on behalf of the company, saying: "We are absolutely
delighted that our environmental division is receiving the recognition it
deserves for the innovative work they are doing to pioneer low carbon
emission technology."
In the final stages of implementation, the aptly named
ECOLOGIC system is due to be launched in December 2010. The system cuts
carbon emissions within the Eco Movers man and van (
www.ecomovers.co.uk/) fleet by combining vehicle management software
and satellite route planning technology to ensure that the minimum numbers of
vehicles are scheduled to enable the delivery of consignments. In turn this
decreases the number of miles travelled and lowers the carbon and particulate
emissions of the fleet during removals (www.ecomovers.co.uk/).
Zach Wright, Digital Development Manager for Eco Movers added:
"ECOLOGIC is a very powerful carbon control technology. When
it is combined with a fleet of low carbon vehicles such as our electric vans,
the decrease in environmental impact is fantastic. One of the goals here at
Eco Movers is to demonstrate to the global logistics community that it is
possible to run a profitable environmentally aware business and by cutting
the number of vehicles and miles travelled we have significantly managed to
cut operating costs."
By developing and adding ECOLOGIC to their already impressive
arsenal of environmental management tools it looks like Cadogan Tate is well
on the way to achieving its low carbon goals.
