Spaceworks have ordered four new vehicles to meet the demands of the busy summer season. The first of these, a 38 tonne tractor unit, has just arrived.

The tractor unit is powered by the new Euro 5 engine, this has the benifits of advanced technologies that boosts output, performance and economy. The engine also uses AdBlue, which is a new technology that reduced emissions from the exhausts of diesel vehicles.

Spaceworks have launched a prototype of a new Eco Chair. The chair was on display in the green room at this years RSVP exhibition, held at the Business Design Centre in Islington.

As well as being made completly out of sustainable wood, the chair is designed to be transported flat-packed. This means that we fit more onto each lorry, therefore reducing emissions.

As of November 2007 Spaceworks have switched to EDF’s green tariff. EDF Energy pledges to match the electricity Spaceworks use with the equivalent amount of electricity from renewable sources such as wind, landfill gas and small scale hydro. This all part of Spaceworks’ Going Green Policy.
