Tranzparts: Pioneering a Greener Future
At Tranzparts, we are proud to announce a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. Today, we are delighted to unveil our inaugural electric van, marking a momentous advancement for our company and the commercial vehicle (CV) industry as a whole. As trailblazers in commercial vehicle parts supply, we are steadfast in our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and embracing cutting-edge solutions. From streamlining our dispatch and delivery processes with Autovolt to the introduction of electric vehicles, progress and sustainability are paramount in our operations.
Embracing Sustainability
Innovation is ingrained in our ethos at Tranzparts. From our day-to-day operations to our long-term strategic planning, we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact and helping offset that of our customers. The introduction of our electric vehicles underscores our ongoing dedication to sustainability and our resolve to lead by example in the CV parts industry. As part of our sustainability endeavors, we have also installed vehicle charging points at our Preston headquarters, ensuring that we can continue delivering top-tier service to our customers.
- Sustainable Operations: Our daily operations reflect our commitment to sustainability, from energy-efficient practices to waste reduction strategies.

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
According to a study by MIT, traditional diesel vans emit over 350 grams of CO2 per mile driven over their lifetimes. In contrast, our fully battery-electric vehicle emits just 200 grams per mile, inclusive of all emissions during manufacturing. By substituting one diesel van with our electric counterpart, we are saving approximately 150 grams of CO2 per mile driven.
- Emission Comparisons: By continually comparing emissions data, we ensure that our electric vans consistently outperform traditional diesel vehicles in terms of environmental benefits.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We are implementing advanced monitoring systems to track and further reduce our carbon footprint across all operations.
- Carbon Offsetting: In addition to reducing emissions, we are investing in carbon offset projects that contribute to environmental restoration and sustainability.
- Fleet Optimization: We are optimizing our fleet management to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of our electric vehicles.
- Energy Efficiency: We are enhancing the energy efficiency of our facilities and operations to complement our efforts in reducing transportation-related emissions.
Looking Ahead
However, our journey towards sustainability is far from complete. We have teamed up with Alex Woodcock at Burnley-based XLCR, and in the forthcoming months, we are eager to expand our electric fleet by replacing 20% of our fleet with electric vans by year-end. This initiative underscores our unwavering dedication to emissions reduction and the adoption of clean energy solutions. With each new electric vehicle, we are edging closer to our vision of a greener, more sustainable future.
- Fleet Expansion Goals: Our plan includes not only expanding our electric fleet but also exploring other clean energy solutions to diversify our approach to sustainability.
- Long-Term Vision: We are developing a long-term vision for sustainability that includes milestones and objectives to guide our progress and ensure continuous improvement.
- Technological Advancements: We are staying ahead of technological advancements in electric vehicle technology to ensure that our fleet remains at the forefront of innovation.
