LINFOX

Keen to tackle the pressing issue of sustainability and CO2 emissions , Linfox has also explored the use of electric vehicles , partnering with automotive behemoth Volvo .

“ We ’ re fortunate to have long standing partners in Michelin and Volvo who are aligned with our values and place the same level of importance on safety , efficiency and innovation .”

Although challenges such as congested areas and unpredictable geography remain , the firm says it is striving to become more environmentally-aware .

“ We ’ re constantly researching and working on alternate fuel source vehicles and automation ,” notes Johnstone .

“ In Asia , the region is increasingly looking for alternative fuel vehicle solutions particularly due to environmental issues such as air quality and pollution . At Linfox , we ’ ve partnered closely with Volvo , who are on the cutting edge for safety and innovation in electric heavy vehicle production . Anything we can do to reduce our emissions is absolutely being evaluated .”

Whilst Linfox may have invested in state-ofthe-art technologies and implemented the very latest safety practices , the fundamentals of Lindsay ’ s original vision still ring true today .

Looking to the future , Johnstone says that he is optimistic about the road ahead .

“ I would say that in the next five or 10 years , our relationship with our customers is going to be closer
