Following the completion of their Liverpool depot decarbonisation programme in 2024, Sunbelt Rentals UK and Europe has decarbonised their Plant & Tools, Powered Access and Traffic Management depots in Milton Keynes into fully electric sites, aligned with their sustainability strategy, Our Planet which is aimed at leading positive change across the rental industry to deliver a better future.

Their decarbonisation programme integrates features to create a resilient, low-carbon operational model that delivers both environmental and workplace benefits.

Features include:

Mark Keily, Head of Health, Safety and Sustainability at Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland, said: “Decarbonising our depots is a powerful statement of intent for our business.

By implementing this transition throughout our own facilities and practices, we are not only taking a proactive stance in reducing our carbon footprint, but we are also demonstrating to our customers, teammates and the local communities that our focus on sustainability is not a distant goal or aspiration for the future. Instead, it is a reality for us.”

Chris Jones, Head of Property at Sunbelt Rentals, added: “By fully electrifying our Milton Keynes depots, we’re creating healthier workplaces for our teammates and cutting operational costs while strengthening our overall energy resilience. That means we’re better equipped to serve our customers with reliable, sustainable solutions every day. It’s a model we can replicate nationwide, ensuring we stay ahead of UK decarbonisation policy and continue leading the rental sector on sustainability, ultimately giving our customers confidence that by working with us, they’re working with a partner who is committed to delivering a greener, more resilient future.”
