New Vans with TGS Racking Boost Efficiency and Sustainability

Tuesday, 28 Jan 2025

At Auto Windscreens, we are thrilled to unveil our latest fleet of vans, equipped with state-of-the-art glass racking systems designed by TGS Group. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.

Weight and Fuel Savings

One of the standout features of our new vans is the bespoke conversion fit-out by TGS Group, which has reduced vehicle weight by over 75 kg. This weight reduction translates to a 1-2% gain in fuel efficiency. When scaled across our fleet of vehicles, this approach significantly contributes to a greener environment.

Enhanced Lifespan of Racking Systems

Our new vans are equipped with TGS Group's StorPro racking system, an ultra-durable yet lightweight, crash-tested solution. The StorPro racking comes with a 5-year warranty, but many customers find it still in excellent condition even after 10 years, allowing it to be reused for a second van life cycle. This extended lifespan is a testament to the quality and design of TGS Group's products, ensuring long-term reliability and cost savings.

Commitment to Sustainability

In addition to the weight and fuel savings, our new vans boast improved CO2 and fuel consumption figures compared to our previous models. This aligns with our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainability within the automotive industry.

We are excited about the positive impact these new vans will have on our operations and the environment. A massive thank you to TGS Group for their innovative solutions and partnership.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive forward with our mission to deliver exceptional service and sustainable solutions.
