Voltempo Joins Includability Scheme as First EV Freight Firm

Voltempo, a Birmingham-based electric freight company, has achieved a sector milestone by becoming the first electric freight operator to join the Includability employer scheme—a workplace diversity and inclusion program focused on employing people with disabilities. This development reflects growing momentum in the logistics industry toward both environmental sustainability and social responsibility through inclusive hiring practices.

For supply chain professionals, this signals an emerging best-practice trend that combines decarbonization commitments with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) objectives. Voltempo's participation demonstrates that forward-thinking freight operators are recognizing the business case for accessibility while simultaneously advancing their sustainability credentials—a dual-value proposition that is likely to influence competitor strategies and client procurement policies.

The move also indicates that disability inclusion is increasingly becoming a differentiation factor in competitive logistics markets, particularly among firms targeting corporate clients with ESG commitments.
