Leading media information business serving the CV and road freight sector, Road Transport Media, has announced the launch of a new brand, dedicated to providing trusted, independent information about the race to zero emissions. Freight Carbon Zero will be serving the needs of the UK road freight sector.

Consisting of a weekly newsletter, website, podcast and webinar series, Freight Carbon Zero was launched at the Edinburgh Clean Air Zone event.

“Freight Carbon Zero represents a major step forward for us as a group. The industry’s journey to carbon zero is going to completely change the face of the sector and there are some big decisions for all those involved. We believe it is essential to provide trusted, independent information to help guide the decision-making process,” said Vic Bunby, Director of Road Transport Media.

Leading the project is former Commercial Motor editor and current MD of RTM’s parent company, DVV Media International, Andy Salter. “I have been involved in the commercial vehicle and road freight sector all my working career and it is clear the tectonic plates of the industry are going to shift as the sector decarbonises. Freight Carbon Zero will endeavour to give all those involved in the industry a resource to keep up to date with the latest developments,” he commented.

Phase one of the project starts with a news and information service, while in Q1 2023 a number of additional tools are planned to be released, all aimed at assisting business decision making as companies seek to adapt to a carbon zero future.
