Environmental brochure
Our new environmental brochure outlines our approach, the value we can deliver for our customers and the investments we are making in our fleet. All of which support efficiencies in fuel savings, reduction in emissions and increases in productivity. We strongly believe it is our social responsibility to invest in the latest innovations that drive a green agenda.
Flannery Launched First Consolidated Telematics Dashboard
In 2018 Flannery Plant Hire launched its first telematics dashboard for clients. This consolidated data across the hire fleet (from multiple OEMs). The initial trial project showed 9% increase in utilisation and a £34k saving in fuel in the first 10-weeks of use.
Electric Vehicle Charging Points
In 2018 Flannery Plant Hire installed electric vehicle charging points at all depots. During this period a big investment was also made in the wider company vehicle fleet to get it to be 47% hybrid.
The first Stage IV Hybrid Excavators Arrive
In September 2018 Flannery became the first investor in latest Komatsu hybrid excavator, the HB215C-3. Harnessing the same unique regeneration technology as the first hybrid excavator that Flannery invested in in 2012. The first client to benefit from this innovative technology was the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Integrated Delivery Team, you can see how it performed in the video and case study available in the resource section.
