Environment agency cuts emissions with Hitachi
Date: 30 September 2013 | Author: Tristan Young
The Environment Agency has cut its fleet CO2 average by 10% over the past year to 115g/km. On top of this figure the CO2 average for new cars joining the 3442-strong fleet is 106g/km.
Working in partnership with Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions, which provides contract hire with maintenance, the agency has also been cutting mileage and the number of vehicles to minimise its environmental impact.
Fleet manager Dale Enyon, said: "We encourage the majority of our employees to look at whether they can use public transport or phone conferencing first before making a car journey," he said.
"BT Live Meeting which adds a visual element to audio conferencing is proving very beneficial to our employees around the country as it cuts down the need to travel but still keeps us in touch with colleagues and external suppliers.
"Our fleet has reduced by 11% or 500 vehicles over the past year, but we still keep looking at new ways of reducing our impact on the environment."
