Ship BVC, ship safe, ship green – why BVC is the more environmentally-friendly option.
BVC couriers specialise in Motorcycle, van or specialist vehicle Overnight UK and international parcel delivery. This means that many of the parcels we deliver are done so via a smaller vehicle than the heavy lorry or freight transport vehicles.
Aviation currently accounts for 2% of CO2 emissions globally and 6% of the UK’s annual CO2 emissions* source, meaning that smaller independent delivery specialists can be the greener answer.
There are two particular emissions-related benefits that motorcycles offer. Modern cars and lorries are heavier than ever. This fact is bad news for transport infrastructure, but also for fuel efficiency; the heavier a vehicle is, the more fuel it uses. In this regard, motorcycles are definitely preferable; they weigh far less than cars, so they use less fuel.
Secondly, motorcycles are famed for their ability to keep moving. Motorcycles are able to cut through the traffic and, where legal, split lanes in order to remain in motion. This is a particularly significant benefit when considering motorcycles as a ‘greener’ alternative.
Studies have shown that idling engines are a major cause of emissions; in fact, an engine idling may actually be emitting twice as much as it would when in motion. Given that one of the major causes of idling is being stuck in traffic, motorcycles – which are far less likely to get stuck in traffic – definitely have the upper hand in this regard. *
