From here, there are plans to use it more extensively across the motorcycling range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We are aiming to relaunch this in 2024 as a more inclusive programme, so we can ensure that the opportunities it brings are available to all students, irrespective of background.<\/p>\n<cite>Tina D.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside plans for the future, the Hinckley-based firm already offer several support schemes for younger workers. At their Leicestershire headquarters alone, there are multiple apprenticeships on offer, as well as roles for graduates leaving university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yamaha introduce low-carbon metals for greener motorbikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The regional licorice divide is real<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People&nbsp;<em>still<\/em>&nbsp;buy candy corn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Western states have a serious sweet tooth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yamaha say that polypropylene materials make up around half of the exterior bodywork of their motorcycles \u2013 making it a key resource for the firm. Consequently, the use of these new greener materials could see up to a claimed 80% reduction carbon footprint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

automotive powerhouse Yamaha are well underway with plans for environmentally friendly production and are now aiming to introduce lower-carbon aluminium into some of their motorcycle parts in a bid to cut CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in late June 2022, the firm announced that they were bringing their plans for carbon neutral factories forward to 2035 \u2013 a jump of 15 years from their previous goal set the previous summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would be achieved by minimising energy use and relying on cleaner, more renewable energy sources such as solar and hydroelectric, with Yamaha predicting a 92% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from their production facilities both in Japan and across the world when compared to 2010 figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I sit here in late November looking at weather for the next few days it\u2019s sun and blue skies all the way around, but you need to
