TruckEast plants for the future with every truck sold 20 May 2021 Following a year filled with challenge and one that was dominated by Covid-19, Scania dealer TruckEast Limited commits to hope for the future by planting and maintaining one tree for each retail Scania truck sold. Last month the initiative was kick-started with a variety of species planted for every retail truck sold since January 2020. The current plot being used will eventually cover just over an acre of land and is predominantly populated with native species such as English Oak and Hornbeam. Not only will the woodland contribute to restoring the UK forest canopy for many years to come, but provide additional habitat for local wildlife as the trees mature. Over the next 100 years, this maintained woodland will sequester an estimated 132 tons of carbon.
