CPD Joins the Sustainable Ports Association: Driving Greener Fleet Solutions Across the Supply Chain
We’re pleased to announce that CPD has joined the Sustainable Ports Association (SPA), a dynamic network committed to advancing sustainability across the UK’s vital port and supply chain infrastructure.
Empowering Ports for a Sustainable Future
Ports are essential to the UK economy and critical to national infrastructure. But with growing pressure to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and meet stricter ESG standards, there’s a clear need for innovation.
The SPA is at the forefront of this transition. Its mission, “Empowering Ports for a Sustainable Future”, resonates with CPD’s own commitment to delivering practical, lower-emission vehicle solutions that support long-term environmental goals.
Through the SPA, ports gain access to a trusted network of suppliers, technologies, and partners, all focused on helping them lead on sustainability and strengthen their position in a rapidly evolving £30 billion market.
CPD’s Role in Greener Supply Chains
As a leading provider of commercial vehicle conversions, CPD works with logistics operators, infrastructure contractors, and public sector fleets across the UK. We offer electric chassis builds, lightweight materials, and efficient designs that help organisations cut carbon and lower whole-life costs.
Joining the SPA allows us to support port authorities and their partners more directly—sharing insight, collaborating on projects, and helping them meet both current regulations and future ESG frameworks such as the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
Whether it's providing road-ready vehicles for logistics within the port estate or supplying fully converted chassis for off-site operations, CPD brings expertise, capacity, and sustainability-focused thinking to the table.
A Shared Commitment to Growth and Impact
Tom Pearson, CPD’s Commercial Director, said: “Joining the Sustainable Ports Association underscores our commitment to supporting carbon reduction across the UK supply chain. We’re excited to work alongside other innovators and contribute to a shared vision of sustainable growth and operational excellence.”
Looking Ahead
As part of the SPA network, CPD will actively support ports in delivering low-carbon transport solutions that are practical, scalable, and future-ready. Together, we can reduce emissions, drive efficiency, and build a more sustainable supply chain.
