ADM has announced a new logistics initiative with the deployment of Voltloader electric tractor units for the direct delivery of flour from ADM's processing facility in Corby, Northamptonshire, UK, to Jacksons Bakery, in Corby.
ADM first introduced the use of Voltloader trucks in April 2024. The programme aimed to help decrease the carbon footprint linked to transporting wheat from ADM's farmer customers to its milling locations, aligning with ADM's goal to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2035.
Based on the success of the first phase, ADM and Voltloader are now deploying the tractor electric units, which produce zero emissions during operation, from mill to customer, helping to further reduce carbon footprint. ADM has already successfully delivered two trailer loads, each carrying 23 tons of flour, to Jacksons Bakery as part of a trial.
"We are thrilled to launch this new initiative with Voltloader for our flour deliveries to Jacksons Bakery in Corby," said Ashley Fuller, commercial director, ADM Milling UK. "ADM possesses distinctive capabilities to reduce the carbon footprint throughout the entire food and agriculture value chain, spanning from farm to customer. Whether through initiatives such as our UK regenerative agriculture program, or our work to improve the efficiency and environmental footprint of our own processing facilities, or innovative initiatives like this one with Voltloader, we are advancing our work to enhance operational efficiency and reliability while helping customers meet their sustainability needs."
Richard Clarke, Jackson's Bakery Procurement and Sustainability Director, added, "The introduction of Voltloader vehicles is an exciting development for us. Not only does it align with our sustainability goals, but it also ensures that we receive the highest quality flour more efficiently. We look forward to the positive impact this will have on our products and our carbon footprint."
Dave Rose, Founder and CEO at Voltloader commented, "We are excited to be working with industry leaders like ADM and Jacksons Bakery to demonstrate our service can span multiple legs of the supply chain, creating even further efficiencies. This partnership is a testament to the effectiveness and reliability of our technology in real-world applications. We believe this initiative marks a significant step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly logistics industry."
