As the UK’s only tolled motorway, the M6toll offers haulage and logistics companies a faster, more reliable route through the Midlands, helping fleets avoid congestion and stay on schedule.

With time-sensitive deliveries and rising fuel costs, the M6toll provides a strategic advantage for operators looking to optimise efficiency and support driver wellbeing.

Key benefits for logistics companies include:

• Time savings (up to 52 per cent quicker then surrounding routes): Bypass the heavily congested M6 and A5 corridors, reducing delays and improving delivery reliability.

• Fuel efficiency: Smoother traffic flow means less idling and stop-start driving, helping fleets cut fuel consumption. On average, HGVs driving on the M6toll achieve up to 2.3mpg better fuel economy than local alternative routes*.

• Driver wellbeing: A safer, quieter route with high-quality facilities supports better working conditions and reduces fatigue.

• Operational predictability: Consistent journey times help logistics planners manage schedules and customer expectations more effectively.

To mark National Lorry Week, M6toll is offering all RHA members 50 per cent off all trips for the first three months.

The offer is designed to give operators a chance to experience the benefits of the M6toll first-hand while maximising value during a critical time for the industry.

Michael Whelan, general manager of M6toll, commented: “National Lorry Week is a celebration of the industry and the people who keep the UK moving — thank you. We’re proud to support this initiative and shine a spotlight on the incredible contribution of our logistics sector.

“By using the M6toll, operators can save time, reduce fuel costs, and ease driver fatigue — giving drivers a chance to enjoy a more relaxed and safe environment on the road. Since 2019, we’ve seen a 50 per cent growth in HGV and lorry traffic using the M6toll, and we want to say a heartfelt thank you to our loyal customers who choose us every day.

“For those who haven’t tried us yet — give the M6toll a go. Speak to our commercial team and discover how your business can reap the benefits of a smarter, smoother route.”

National Lorry Week runs until 7 November 2025, with events and campaigns across the UK aimed at raising awareness of the industry’s importance and inspiring the next generation of logistics professionals.
