The Challenge

Road freight keeps the UK moving — but it’s running far below its potential.

Nearly 1 in 3 HGV miles are driven empty, creating 4.7 million tonnes of unnecessary CO₂ every year. That’s equivalent to putting one million extra cars on the road.

With 4 billion tonnes of goods transported annually and half a million HGVs in operation, inefficiency isn’t a small problem — it’s one of the industry’s biggest costs.

HaulageHub tackles this head-on: using data, automation, and real-time visibility to eliminate empty running, cut emissions, and make road freight smarter, greener, and more profitable.

Employment

289,000 people employed in UK road haulage

Carbon Footprint

4.7m tonnes of CO₂ produced by empty running each year

Opportunity

£36bn projected UK road freight market value by 2025
