Argo Feeds, based in Penistone, has replaced two of its diesel-fuelled forklift trucks with electric powered alternatives which will be recharged through the company’s existing solar PV system.
The investment is set to save the family business £4,399 a year in diesel and reduce its annual carbon emissions by 11.6 tonnes. Argo Feeds received a Low Carbon Grant towards the investment through Barnsley Council’s Net Zero Barnsley programme, supported by the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) administered via South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
