Alex Norman, Origin's founder, said "We’re extremely proud to bring a 100 percent net zero-emission service to the transportation & logistics industry. Low-carbon technology has developed to a point where we can offer reliable, cost-effective transportation services to our clients."
"As freight logistics is one of the fastest growing contributors to the climate crisis, we believe now is the time for businesses to consider net-zero solutions."
