Partnership is Leadership: Electrifying UK Freight

UK are you ready

Partnerships will electrify UK road freight

With experience from launching Europe’s largest fleet of electric trucks, DFDS knows the value of partnerships to realise the potential of HGV electrification.

And to mark the introduction of DFDS electric trucks to the UK, we hosted the event “Partnership is Leadership: Electrifying UK Freight”.

The event brought together leading voices with the knowledge and ability to decarbonise UK supply chains.
