Double Award Success for Port Express on the Road to Net Zero

July 02, 2026

We’re proud to share news that Port Express has won not one, but two awards at the DP World Low Carbon Truck Programme Awards 2026.

Port Express was honoured with the prestigious Road to Net Zero Award 2026, while our Managing Director, James Watts, was named LCTP Individual of the Year.

These awards recognise the ongoing work taking place across our business to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and invest in cleaner, more technologically advanced transport solutions.

Our journey to becoming a greener business is built on practical, real-world change. From operating more than 100 owned Euro VI specification trucks, to using telematics and Fleet Witness software to monitor driver behaviour, improve performance and reduce fuel consumption, we are continually looking for ways to make a positive and greener impact.

We have also introduced smarter tyre strategies, combining premium tyres with high-quality remoulded alternatives to extend tyre life, reduce waste and support a more circular approach. Alongside this, we are exploring renewable fuels, trialling new innovations and technology, and began operating a 42-tonne electric HGV from our Southampton depot this year.

Our move to e-POD and app-based systems has also helped us to practically eradicate paper usage across delivery booking and proof of delivery processes.

James Watts, Managing Director, said: “It’s a real honour to be recognised, but the most important thing is that we keep pushing forward, keep improving, and continue doing our bit to support a lower-carbon future for logistics.”

A fantastic achievement for everyone involved at Port Express.
