Located in Coven and Wednesfield, KTransport is positioned at the heart of the U.K. motorway network and is ideally placed to provide haulage, distribtuion and logistics services throught the U.K. KTransport prides itself on its modern fleet of over 70 vehicles meticulously maintained in its own workshops. KTransport believe that a well maintained, modern vehicle fleet is an essential component of providing an exceptional road haulage service.
KTransport also utilises its skilled workshop staff to provide MOT services for cars and light vans in the Wolverhampton, Coven and Brewood areas. With ample parking and attention to providing exceptional service, KTransport's workshop provides an MOT service to customers which is completely imdependent and provides an accurate assessment of their vehicle's condition. And, because KTransport does not provide maintenance for MOT customers' vehicles, they can be confident that they will not be asked to undertake unnecassary work on the vehicles.
We are committed to the health & safety of all of our employees, the measures that we have employed to ensure this include the following :
We are ideally located in the centre of the country for a transport company, our locality assists us in keeping empty running to a minimum.
On many occasions we will distribute finished products from factories in the West Midlands and return load with raw materials from the docks to the same factory.
Our vehicles are currently running loaded over 80% of the time and we are continually looking to improve this and further reduce our carbon foot print.
We have found that running an efficient and economical operation runs `hand in glove` with improving our green credentials as a company.
4. Fleet replacement with the latest Euro 5 engines that operate with the fuel additive Ad Blue and result in almost zero emissions. From January 2012 these will be the only LGV vehicles allowed into the London LEZ (low emission zone) and currently make up 50% of our fleet.
5. We are continually striving to reduce our empty running miles by return loading from all areas of the country and more efficient routing with the assistance of our tracking system.
6. KTS are now a member of The Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme (LCRS). This is a voluntary scheme administered by the Freight Transport Association with the purpose of recording, reporting and reducing carbon emissions from freight transport. Fuel, Fleet and Activity data are recorded and this information is then tracked to monitor improvements in emissions and fuel efficiency over time. The participation in this scheme further demonstrates our green credentials and our long term commitment to reducing our carbon emissions.
Anthony Stanley Kay a pig breeder and green grocer married Beryl Dorothy Cooper, William’s eldest daughter, and took over the running of the business with no previous transport experience.
In 1978 Tony Kay sold his business and premises to the road construction unit and the M54 motorway was built through the Coven Heath depot.
5 years later David's brother Andrew joined the business when a 5 acre site at Slade Heath was purchased and developed and is still the company HQ with an additional depot at Wednesfield.
