Travel

From car part logistics to employees travelling to work, we proactively reduce CO₂ emmissions. Thanks to carefully orchestrated logistics all the incoming supplies and outgoing shipments of finished cars require around 20 lorry movements per day, which is a tiny fraction of the number required by conventional car plants.

To minimise the impact of our employees travelling to and from work everyday we initiated a green travel plan from day one. Central to this is a lift-sharing database, which enables employees to travel together where possible. By sharing cars for their daily commute Rolls-Royce employees save 1600 miles per day in unnecessary journeys, which equates to a weekly CO₂ emissions saving of some 2.8 tonnes.

Those employees who are unable to participate in the lift-sharing scheme are encouraged to use bicycles, motorcycles or take advantage of local public transport.
