FIFE Council has announced that the ECO stars fleet recognition scheme has welcomed its 300th member.
The initiative supports local fleet operators to improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, as well as make cost savings.
Having grown considerably since 2018 when it had 25 members, Fife’s ECO stars now has 304 commercial fleet members across 10,753 vehicles.
MGS Logistics Limited, a medium sized heavy haulage specialist with depots in Aberdeen, Rosyth, Great Yarmouth, and Uithoorn, recently became the 300th commercial fleet member.
Cllr Jan Wincott, Fife Council’s spokesperson for environment and climate change, said, “I’m pleased to welcome MGS Logistics as a member of Fife ECO stars scheme and for them to contribute to the delivery of Fife’s air quality strategy.
“Fife Council’s own fleet was the first council in Scotland to be awarded a 5-star rating from ECO stars and it’s fantastic to see the Fife ECO stars fleet recognition scheme continuing to recruit strongly with a year-on-year increase in the number of operators adopting ultra-low emission vehicles.”
Stuart Paley, MGS Logistics’ HSEQ manager, commented, “We are pleased to be the 300th commercial fleet operator in Fife to be awarded ECO stars membership. It is a real win, win for our business by showing our customers that we are environmentally responsible and at the same time helping to maintain the good air quality we have in Fife.”
