- 70-95%
What Happened
Bentley Motors has announced that it will use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for all customer car airfreight movements worldwide, effective immediately. Airfreight is used only when necessary due to customer requests or time-critical needs. By switching to certified SAF, Bentley aims to significantly reduce the environmental impact of these essential movements, while maintaining service levels.
“Our transition to using certified Sustainable Aviation Fuel across all customer car airfreight movements reflects how we are taking measurable, evidence based steps to reduce emissions in the parts of our logistics network where flights remain necessary.”
