Speedy Hire to launch decarbonisation tool for customers

Speedy Hire, the UK rental company, will soon launch what it called the hire industry’s first ‘Diesel-Free Matrix’ to support its carbon management initiatives for customers.

The solution is designed to manage hire contracts at a project level, allowing customers to make measurable progress in reducing diesel reliance and advancing decarbonisation across their sites. It will unveil the system on 28 November during the Speedy Hire Live Sustainability Summit, a virtual event.

According to Speedy, the Matrix enables decision-making around innovative technologies, such as hydrogen power units (HPUs), to help customers meet sustainability targets while benefiting from new energy solutions.

It will help decarbonise the construction projects, including HS2, the Lower Thames Crossing, and National Highways projects.

Speedy Hire said it was the first rental company to adopt PAS2080:2023, the latest standard for managing carbon in infrastructure.

“By adopting PAS2080:2023 with third-party verification next year, we’re setting a new benchmark in the hire industry,” said Amelia Woodley, ESG Director at Speedy Hire.

“The Matrix supports our customers in their sustainability journeys and strengthens our ESG leadership, creating lasting, positive change across our sector.”

She said launching the Diesel-Free Matrix is pivotal to achieving the company’s commitment to a sustainable future with its ‘Decade to Deliver’ strategy.

In 2023, Speedy Hire launched its ambitious ‘Decade to Deliver’ roadmap to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% and Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030 and to reach net zero by 2040, a decade ahead of the UK government’s deadline.

Founded in 1977, Speedy Hire operates from 147 service centres and on-site locations across the UK and Ireland.
