Cartwright Vehicle Conversions (CVC), has invested a million pounds in a project to become a more sustainable business, including a new bio-mass boiler to help reduce the company’s carbon footprint.

As one of the country’s leading vehicle conversion companies, CVC offers a range of converted vehicles for the commercial market, ambulance, police, temperature control and security sectors from their dedicated facility based in Belton, North Lincolnshire.

Two 500 kw boilers have been installed that will generate heating for the facility from a renewable energy source through burning woodchip.

According to the Government department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, woodchips generate 95% less CO² than LPG and provides businesses like CVC with a sustainable energy solution helping to mitigate their carbon emissions.

The installation of the biomass boiler follows CVC being awarded ISO 14001 accreditation in 2022 in recognition of the company’s environmental credentials.

To qualify a company must develop an environmental policy that outlines their intentions for controlling and improving the environmental impact of their manufacturing.

The substantial investment demonstrates CVC’s commitment to transitioning to a more environmentally friendly business structure.

Trek-Group Chief Executive, Tom Janion, said: “We are committed to green energy and the new installation of the biomass boilers is a positive step towards making our operations more sustainable and helps towards meeting the governments renewable energy targets.”
