Toyota Motor Europe (TME) has awarded United European Car Carriers (UECC) its 2025 ‘Sustainability Achievement Award’ for reducing the carbon footprint of Toyota’s European logistics operations.

The Oslo-based shortsea ro-ro operator was recognised for transporting over 50,000 Toyota vehicles carbon-neutrally in 2024, thanks to its use of liquefied biomethane (LBM) and hybrid LNG-battery-powered PCTCs.

“This award shows the power of partnership in delivering real CO₂ reductions,” said UECC CEO Glenn Edvardsen, after receiving the award from TME’s vice-president of corporate affairs and sustainability, Monica Perez Lobo.

The award highlights TME’s broader supply chain decarbonisation efforts, which aim to cut emissions by 33% by 2030. With two more hybrid newbuilds due in 2028, UECC continues to focus on sustainable shortsea transport. (ah)
