<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>About the Tree Planting Initiative</strong></h3>

<!-- /wp:heading -->

​

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>At AKFS, we understand the importance of taking action to fight climate change and preserving our planet for future generations. That's why we have embraced IVECO's initiative to plant a tree sapling for every new IVECO vehicle sold through AKFS, dating back to January 2022.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

​

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>The initiative, led by The Future Forest Company, has a simple objective, to remove carbon from the atmosphere, restore nature and fight climate change. The project includes planting trees across sites in Northern England &amp; Scotland, helping businesses like ours address residual carbon emissions. When the opportunity came along we didn’t hesitate to sign up, and are now fully committed to supporting this project.</p>

<p>“As the UK market leader in our sector, we are mindful of our carbon footprint and the industry drive to become carbon neutral. This process is a journey that all stakeholders are on, and we are all at different points in this journey, and every small change helps towards our joint goal.</p>

<p>AKFS were delighted to learn about the Iveco Tree Planting initiative in early 2023 and their commitment to retrospectively plant trees based on new vehicles registered going back to January 2022. This commitment galvanised our decision that Iveco UK were and continue to be a wise partner choice for the AKFS quality range of Car &amp; Plant Transporters. The 7200kg GVW Iveco Daily in combination with the AKFS bodywork offers a superior payload which returns greater MPG figures due to its lightweight yet robust design.</p>
