Tesco has partnered with logistics firm FSEW to launch two 37-tonne, fully electrified HGV trucks, which will transport food and other products from Wentloog rail terminal outside Cardiff to Tesco’s distribution centre in Magor, Wales.

The retailer said heavy-goods vehicles make up around 16% of the UK’s domestic transport emissions, adding that “addressing this can play a significant role in delivering the UK’s net-zero ambitions”.
