DEAR ATTENDEE

SPONSORS

We would like to welcome you to the 2016 GreenFleet Awards, sponsored by Green Motion Vehicle Rental, which once again takes place at Edgbaston, the home of Warwickshire County Cricket Club.

The GreenFleet Awards is a celebration of the efforts of many organisations and individuals that strive to improve environmental fleet performance.

A big thank you to all the organisations that entered this year’s Awards, the entries continue to demonstrate how the UK is pioneering environmental fleet management. GreenFleet’s regional “Plug-In” events continued to expand in 2016 and once again proved very popular, while the inaugural COMMERCIAL GreenFleet event in Birmingham was a resounding success and will once again form part of the 2017 event calendar. We plan to enhance this program further in 2017. Please keep an eye out for further details and contact your GreenFleet Account Manager to get involved.

Thank you to Green Motion, LDV and all of our other sponsors and supporters – without them we would not be celebrating here tonight.

And a big thank you to the many organisations that continue to give the Awards, GreenFleet events and GreenFleet magazine their support.

I wish you all an enjoyable, and hopefully successful, night.

Yours sincerely Jason Devoto Managing Director – PSi Group

H Co-Wheels As City Car Club is now owned by Enterprise, Co-wheels is the only independently-owned national car club, and delivers its service in over 60 locations across the UK. 75 electric cars are now available to hire by the hour in 20 towns and cities. Founders Pierre Fox, Richard Falconer and Paul Balmont set up Co-Wheels as a social enterprise which is annually assessed against transparent criteria, upheld by an independent certification panel. In June this year it became the first car club to receive ‘Go Ultra Low Company’ status, with over 40 per cent of its UK fleet either electric or hybrid. The first car club to introduce wheelchair accessible vehicles into its fleet has held the Social Enterprise Gold Mark for over five years for being able to demonstrate an excellent standard of practice in business ethics.

H E-Car Club Last year saw Europcar on the aquisition trail, snapping up a majority stake in E-Car Club, the pure electric car share club which operates from 20 sites across the UK. Launched in 2013 when founders Chris Morris and Andrew Wordsworth raised £100,000 through crowdfunding, original investors have now seen a tidy return on their stakes. Vehicles are available for hire from just £4.50 per hour including power and insurance, with the all electric fleet made up of the Renault Zoe and Kangoo ZE light commercial, Nissan’s Leaf and the BMW i3. The latest installation, in Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides, features a fleet of nine Renault Zoes and one Kangoo van powered by energy generated by the local wind farm. Investment in charging infrastructure by Western Isles Council makes EVs perfectly suited for transport around the island.

H Zip Car The world’s largest car club network currently operates in London, Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge and Maidstone as well as over 500 cities in eight countries.

Owned by Avis since 2013, it is estimated that its global community of over one million members has taken as many as 400,000 personally owned vehicles off the road. A free-floating service where members can pick up and drop off at any location within a set geographical area, was recently launched in Brussels.

In the UK, Zipcar has partnered with Volkswagen to form Zipwagen, which provides a fleet of 40 Volkswagen Golf GTE hybrids to members in the London Borough of Westminster and a further 10 throughout the capital. Dedicated charging stations are made available to Zipcar members, bringing sustainable, low and zero-emission driving within the reach of a large number of Londoners.

H Green Motion Established in 2007 and a previous multi GreenFleet Award winner, Green Motion, the brainchild of Richard Lowden, is currently present in 26 countries and is concentrating on the further strengthening of its home market of the UK. The company continues to work closely with some of the world’s largest manufacturers, including Citroen, Toyota, Honda, Lexus and BMW to procure vehicles that are at the cutting edge of environmental technology. The all-electric Nissan Leaf is available to hire in several branches, while sub 100g/km cars and vans are commonplace in its fleet, as are a range of filtered diesels and hybrids.

Green Motion has concentrated on ensuring that the principle activities of its business have the lowest impact on the environment as possible.

Each installation adheres to a list of environmental specifications from power generation through to shop fitting materials and paper use.

H Europcar This year, French manufacturer Renault delivered its biggest UK order of electric vehicles (EVs) to date, after agreeing to supply 55 all-electric Renault Zoes to rental company Europcar for its car hire service throughout major UK cities. This forms part of its drive to ensure that five per cent of its UK vehicles are electric by 2020.

Last year saw also saw Europcar on the aquisition trail, snapping up a majority stake in E-Car Club, the pure electric car share club which operates from 20 sites across the UK. Vehicles are available for hire from just £4.50 per hour including power and insurance, with the all electric fleet made up from the Renault Zoe and Kangoo ZE light commercial, Nissan’s Leaf and the BMW i3. The latest installation, in Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides, features a fleet of nine Renault Zoes and one Kangoo van powered by energy generated by the local wind farm.

H Electric Blue Electric Blue is providing a fleet of fully licensed, electric taxis for short term hire to local taxi drivers and fleets in a bold attempt to demonstrate the benefits and suitability of electric vehicles as a hackney carriage option. Potential drivers can try before they buy, renting by the day for just £25 and 2 pence per mile.

The partnership with Nissan offers bespoke packages of the e-NV200, which include a free home charger, trade-ins, advice on grants, specialist insurance, warranty & breakdown cover plus the added incentive of reduced licensing fees – Electric Blue has worked with local authorities to secure reduced rates for electric taxis.

Primarily to support the vehicles, Electric Blue is installing a rapid charger network across the UK with dedicated ‘Taxi Only’ bays. These are all powered by renewable energy through a partnership with Good Energy and can charge the e-NV200 to 80 per cent in 25 minutes.

Private Hire/Taxi Company of the Year

PRESENTED BY

H Addison Lee To address air pollution in London, Addison Lee has gone the extra mile with its five point plan, setting ambitious objectives for reducing carbon emissions.

3,500 drivers have undergone fuel efficiency training, which Addison Lee says equates to 15 per cent reduction per tank per driver. As well as investment in hybrid and EV technology for its fleet, Addison Lee is now reviewing battery disposal, waste vehicle oil as well as waste tyres. Waste oil is collected and burnt off site for energy. Working with Ford, the taxi firm is looking to recycle used engine oil into plastics which can be used for new vehicle manufacture. Vehicle tyres are also incinerated in a kiln.

H Green Tomato Cars Founded over a decade ago with a fleet of four Toyota Priuses, Green Tomato Cars is celebrated its 10th anniversary by launching a new service. ‘Hyrbid’ combines Green Tomato Cars’ two Prius services to give customers access to a larger hybrid fleet in one place. Pricing for the new ASAP Hybrid service will be based on distance travelled and journey time, which is designed to better reflect traffic conditions, while the Green Tomato Cars’ pre booked service will continue to offer fixed pricing.

The company’s dispatch software minimises the distance its drivers travel without passengers on board, while telematics has been introduced this year to improve driver behaviour and reduce collisions.

As well as environmental reductions through its fleet, last year alone Green Tomato Cars offset 1,000 tons of CO2 emissions – the equivalennt 142 double decker busses.

H E-Connect Cars E-Connect cars offers passengers zero emission journeys with a fully electric car fleet. Starting with five Nissan Leaf Teknas in January of 2014, the fleet has now grown to 55 vehicles and clients are now able to book an executive option with the Tesla model S, as well as a business class with the top of the range Leaf. Whilst most trips are less than five miles, journeys as far afield as Cardiff and Hereford have been undertaken using the Tesla.

In January 2016, E-Connect cars completed a successful crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube. Over 200 investors supported the use of electric vehicles as taxis and together raised nearly half a million pounds, part of which was used to extend the rapid charging infrastructure.

H Streamline Cars (York) Streamline Taxis is the longest serving taxi company in York. Since 1937, Streamline Taxis has been providing the city with a dedicated 24/7 all year round taxi service. In recent years the company has invested heavily in greener technology for its own vehicles in an attempt to contribute as much as possible towards a reduced environmental impact, and has recently been awarded ISO 14001 to recognise the Environment Management Processes.

Currently 10 per cent of its fleet are either hybrid or electric vehicles, which is due to icnrease next year. Streamline is also looking to convert wheelchair-friendly vehicles to LPG for lower emissions.

Leasing Company of the Year

PRESENTED BY FORMULA E

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

H Alphabet Almost 10 per cent of the 23,109 plug-in grant-eligible cars and vans registered in the first eight months of 2016 are funded by or leased from Alphabet. Last year its electric fleet grew by 385 per cent and in August this year reached a total of 5,085 EVs and PHEVs. Alphabet’s multi-user AlphaCity CarSharing vehicles will cover more than one million miles, with each car being shared by an average of 27 individual ‘mobility users’ via RFID cards. Improvements to AlphaCity include a zero emission Electric Vehicle version using the BMW i3.

To better serve the 30 per cent of its customers that don’t have a dedicated fleet manager, Alphabet has developed a range of outsourced products and services which enable its customers to focus on their core business while delivering greater flexibility and more efficient mobility for their employees. The company has also gained an Investors in People Silver Award – one of the few to achieve this at the first time of application. Independent surveys recorded a 2.2 per cent increase in overall customer satisfaction and a 2.4 per cent increase in customer loyalty.

H Fleetdrive Electric Fleetdrive have been delivering added-value fleet management solutions since 1994. In 2011 the Fleetdrive Electric division was established to deliver expertise at the forefront of the market for ULEVs in the fleet sector.

Fleetdrive quickly identified that a significant barrier to businesses adopting EV technology is a lack of confidence in the product’s viability. It therefore introduced an EV flexi-lease service which enables organisations to conduct trials, testing and monitoring within practical applications to ensure suitability, without the need to commit beyond a 30-day period.

Fleetdrive has 572 PHEV’s on fleet, representing 29 per cent of the total. As well as generating cost-savings for their clients of well over £500,000 each year in fuel‑savings alone, they also result in a combined CO2 reduction of 1132 tonnes p.a.

Fleetdrive Electric’s dedication to promoting EVs within the fleet sector has resulted in the successful conversion of companies such as Nestle, Brompton Bicycles and Gnewt Cargo to becoming serious EV users and an inspiration to others.

H Leaseplan/Automotive Leasing The fleet management apps and portals that came out of Leaspeplan’s Digital Transformation programme in 2015 have empowered drivers to manage their own vehicles and provide on-demand insight to fleet decision-makers.

This, combined with an enhanced telematics solution, ensures that drivers benefit from a set of tools that can deliver genuine efficiency gains.

Leaseplan’s SwopCar car sharing solution is suited to a community of drivers within an organisation who can use an online reservation system to access a vehicle for a specified period. SwopCar’s smart technology tracks each vehicle, monitoring its fuel level, maintenance and cleanliness, automatically booking and carrying out relevant services. From the fleet manager’s perspective, usage data and other insights can also be tracked and costs can be allocated to departments or even individual employees. SwopCar can therefore not only deliver environmental benefits, but also improvements in employee engagement.

Five per cent of Leaseplan’s fleet are ultra low emssion, but as adoption still presents challenges for customers, Leaseplan has sought to drive down fleet emissions through a number of other measures.

H Chevin Fleet Solutions Chevin’s fleet information management software, FleetWave, lets users view periodical MPG figures for their fleet, measure driver and vehicle performance and use the data to support future improvement measures. FleetWave Mobile can help perform daily vehicle inspections, report any potential safety concerns and directly raise jobs in the maintenance or workshop modules, improving remote workforce management and providing a significantly greener option than paper processes.

H Geotab With more than 900 million points of data collected daily, Geotab helps companies access critical business intelligence and benchmarking data to improve safety, reduce fuel and maintenance costs and strengthen compliance. To combat the set of challenges posed by heavy equipment, oil field equipment and related fleets, Geotab recently developed Go Rugged. Designed to the IP67 standard, the device provides engine data reporting on the Primary Cam Bus, giving fleets real-time vehicle tracking, engine diagnostics and driver details, including harsh braking or rapid acceleration, allowing users to optimise asset utilisation and reduce maintenance costs.

H Emissions Analytics Emissions Analytics recognised the urgent need for an alternative more realistic system so set about collecting as much real-world data from as many vehicles as it could. The launch of the EQUA Index has delivered real‑world air quality, greenhouse gas and fuel economy data to all. By providing free access to this data online, informed decisions can be taken which lead directly to reductions in CO2 and NOx. As it becomes adopted, it has the potential to become the benchmark for independently validated vehicle performance data which will result in a cleaner, healthier environment.

H Route Monkey Route Monkey (RM) creates complex algorithms to deliver scheduling and route optimisation solutions for fleets. In 2015, Route Monkey (RM) estimates that it saved its customers a total 38,844,000 miles and a corresponding 26,258 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The system can provide real time dynamic scheduling and can comfortably deal with the addition of last-minute jobs or delays and road closures caused by road traffic accidents. RM’s EVOS solution is the first software to optimise ULEVs and the first that can schedule mixed fleets containing conventional and low carbon vehicles.

Green Motion is the UK’s leading provider of low CO2 vehicle hire.

2016 saw Volvo Trucks launch improvements on its FM, FMX, FH and FH16 model ranges by increasing engine fuel efficiency together with new aerodynamic improvements on cab and chassis, which can potentially reduce fuel costs by up to five per cent. On the engine, changes have been made to comply with the Euro-6 Step-C regulations, such as low-friction pistons, an all-new improved turbo, a higher compression ratio, an enhanced camshaft and other software updates. This is added to a re-designed front spoiler, air deflectors, mudguards and a tighter wheel housing on FH models to improve the aerodynamics and reduce air resistance.

A refresh of DAF’s highly popular XF range features a new chassis made of high-tensile steel which is powered by PACCAR MX-13 and MX-11 engines, developed for maximum efficiency, high performance and low operating costs.

A new gearbox, the AS Tronic, includes EcoRoll (truck rolling downwards with an idling engine) and FastShift (no clutch disengagement between 11th and 12th gear) to further enhance fuel efficiency. DAF has also introduced an extensive programme of improvements to the popular LF series.

HScania 2016 saw Scania unveil two new R and S models, with the S truck said to be up to five per cent more efficient than the previous model. It features new drag-reduction technology with three adjustable air deflectors to improve the alignment between the cab and the trailer roof. Three models will be SCR-only with the new 13-litre 500hp unit engine. Scania in the UK was once again recognised by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership this year for dedicated gas-powered trucks and buses, which are now in daily service with a number of high profile operators in the UK, including Argos and the John Lewis Partnership.

H Iveco Iveco’s claims that its new Stralis NP, which runs on compressed and liquid natural gas, is the most sustainable international transport truck ever. At its heart is the Iveco Cursor 9 Natural Power Euro VI engine, which delivers the same power and torque output as its diesel equivalent. It is the first natural gas truck with a 12-speed automated gearbox - the Eurotronic transmission guarantees lower fuel consumption. The LNG-only version has a record range autonomy of 1,500 km and features the Hi-Way cab, which was introduced on the “International Truck of the Year 2013” Stralis Hi-Way.

H Isuzu Isuzu trucks are now used by countless organisations in just over 120 countries throughout the world. For the UK market, the vehicles are manufactured in Japan and assembled near Verona, Italy, with Isuzu’s LGV range made up of the Forward and Urban Models in size variants of 5.5t, 6.5t, 7.5t, 11.0t an 12.0t. Isuzu’s Euro VI 3.0 litre 150 PS engine is matched to a 5-speed synchromesh overdrive gearbox. Whether you choose a narrow or wide cab, this compact truck is suited for operations requiring more carrying capacity than 3.5 tonners without having the large physical footprint of a 7.5 tonner.

FIRST DRIVE: VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTE

H Peugeot Peugeot’s second quarter reported excellent sales of the Partner, and with the 47-model all-new Expert LCV range becoming available in June, end of year figures should look strong. The new Expert brings innovative features such as hands-free sliding side doors, Active Safety Brakes, rear-view camera and VisioPark.

The Boxer is now available with a range of 2.0-litre BlueHDi diesel engines.

H Fiat Professional After being completely refreshed in the last two years, Fiat Professional’s latest range is capable of responding to all professional needs by covering 97 per cent of the market. The new Ducato is equipped with a Euro-6 engine and is now available with a nine-passenger people mover that represents an important step taken towards the minibus segment.

H Nissan With the addition of the new NV300, Nissan has one of the widest commercial vehicle ranges on the market. As the eagerly anticipated replacement for the Primastar, the NV300 sits between NV200/e-NV200 and NV400 and has been designed to provide business users with a versatile ‘mobile office’ environment.

For bespoke needs, the floor cab provides a suitable base for conversions. A range of efficient technologies combine to present an impressive mid sized option.

H Renault Renault’s LCV market share for the first half of 2016 was up one percentage point on the same period in 2015. That itself was a record, but a particular success story was sales of the Trafic van, which has proved as popular as ever with business users across the UK with 8,722 of the third generation model being sold in the first half of 2016 – almost 40 per cent up on the last year.

H LDV LDV has returned to the UK with the EV80, an all-electric van that promises a 215-mile range, combined with city-friendly zero local emissions. It packs a 75 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery and comes in a choice of short and long wheelbase panel van configurations and a custom-built chassis cab option. China’s first all-electric van made its debut at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham.

City Car Manufacturer of the Year H Mini Well suited to business drivers, the Mini 3-door Hatch achieves up to 83.1mpg (combined) and features intelligent sensors that take the guesswork out of tricky driving situations. Launched in 2014 and providing further options for the fleet market, the Mini 5-door Hatch, delivers the same distinctive styling with combined fuel economy of 80.7mpg and CO2 emissions from 92g/km. Auto start/stop, an optional Green Driving Mode and a BIK rate of 18 per cent are also seen as an incentive for fleet drivers.

H Smart In 2016 Smart continued to be a highly popular choice. Perfectly suited to city driving, the now iconic design of the fortwo has been an everyday sight since its launch in 1998, decorated by the branding of businesses both large and small across the UK and Europe. The third generation fortwo, developed as a joint venture with Renault, features power steering as standard and a completely new design. The eagerly anticipated Smart electric drive is set for launch in early 2017.

H Hyundai Hyundai’s second generation i10 is available in 1.0 and 1.2 litre engines, with modifications to the gearbox which are said to improve fuel consumption by one per cent. The Blue Drive variant features Intelligent Stop & Go, low rolling resistance tyres and an optimum gear change indicator which combine to reduce CO2 to 98g/km. This helps push the i10 into the zero road tax bracket - an important consideration for fleet buyers.

PHEV Manufacturer of the Year H BMW Extensive discussions were conducted with fleets ahead of the market introduction of the BMW 330e Saloon. This plug-in hybrid offers an official combined fuel consumption of 148.7mpg and CO2 emissions of 44g/km.

March 2016 also saw the launch of the BMW 225xe Active Tourer. In pure electric mode, the car can travel up to 25 miles and reach up to 78mph, emission-free and with zero fuel consumption.

H Volvo A combination of an electric motor and an efficient 2.0-litre four‑cylinder petrol engine in Volvo’s XC90 T8 Twin Engine achieves CO2 emissions of 49g/km and combined fuel consumption of 134.5mpg.

Running in electric-only mode, the car is capable of 27 miles.

The tax-efficient XC90 T8 can achieve significant savings when compared with a similarly priced rival SUVs.

H Kia Kia’s recently introduced PHEV offerings for fleets include the Optima and the Niro SUV, which at its leanest returns 74mpg economy and CO2 emissions of 88g/km. It’s an early success story, with nearly 5,000 vehicles delivered to European buyers as of mid-October and an order book of 15,000 vehicles. The PHEV variant of Kia’s Optima saloon was the first plug-in model from the manufacturer.

H Mitsubishi A huge success story in the UK and Europe, a combination of the combustion engine and twin electric motors make the Outlander PHEV the most capable 4x4 hybrid available. Two motors supply instant torque to all four wheels and it can even be driven in 4WD mode purely using electric power. The Outlander switches between three drive modes (Pure EV, Series and Parallel Hybrid) which are selected automatically to deliver the most efficient performance.

H Volkswagen Over the years, the VW Golf has proved to be one of the more desirable hatchbacks available, and this continues to be the case with the recently launched plug-in version. Powered by a 148bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine plus a 101bhp electric motor, it has a total output of 201bhp and a 0-62mph time of 7.6 seconds.

Five different drive modes (E-mode, Battery Save, Hybrid Auto, Battery Charge and GTE) offer varying levels of efficiency.

Electric Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year

SPONSORED BY

H BMW With the introduction of the game changing i3, BMW has established itself as a market leader in electric vehicles. In 2016, a new higher capacity lithium-ion battery was launched which can last 125 miles on one charge. This comes with an 8-year warranty as standard and is embedded deep inside the chassis, giving the BMW i3 a low centre of gravity for better handling. The i3 is manufactured in a purpose built plant in Leipzig, powered by green electricity generated on site by wind turbines. It takes 70 per cent less water and 50 per cent less energy to build than a conventional car.

H Nissan The success story of the Leaf continues with Nissan shifting over 250,000 units since its introduction in 2010. The unique manufacturing plant in Sunderland, which builds the car for supply to 23 markets, completed the build of its 50,000th Leaf earlier this year. Recent enhancements include the addition of a 30kWh battery, which offers a significant 26 per cent increase in driving range.

H Mahindra Indian manufacturer Mahindra’s first dip into the UK market came earlier this year with the Mahindra e20, seen as the successor to the G-Wiz. Unlike the now somewhat iconic ‘quadricycle’, the e20 is full M1-certified vehicle with two airbags, ABS and ESP as standard, as well as ISOFIX mounts for the rear seats. A 3.9kWh lithium‑ion battery powers a 42bhp electric motor which provides a range of 79 miles.

H Kia The all electric version of Kia’s striking Soul SUV is powered by 27kWh batteries mounted beneath the car. These are mated to an electric motor which produces the equivalent of 109bhp. Kia claims a range of 130 miles on a single charge, with a 90mph top speed. Where possible, the manufacture has been greened using bio-degradable materials in the cabin. Although its sits at the more expensive end of available electrics, it has received praise for its performance and practicality.

H Renault The initial outlay price of the Zoe makes it an attractive proposition for fleets.

One the benefits of its battery lease scheme, which starts at around £70 per month, was highlighted earlier this year at the Paris Motor Show when the Zoe was unveiled with a 41kw battery, along with further enhancements to enable a 250 mile range, which can be retrofitted to older models.

Fleet Car Manufacturer of the Year H BMW The past year has seen BMW Corporate Sales split its clients into key accounts for larger fleets and a new division, BMW Business, for medium and small fleets. The sales force was increased, creating two new roles purely concentrating on the public sector. While the i3 electric provides a zero emissions option for city fleets, BMW’s iPerformance hybrid technology is now available on the new BMW 3 series, giving fleet managers and business drivers another lower emission option.

H Volvo Introduced in May this year, the V60 D5 Twin Engine offers fleet and company car drivers CO2 emissions of just 48g/km and qualifies for a government plug-in car grant of £2,500 as well as a 100 per cent first year writing down allowance and a BIK rate of seven per cent for 2016/17. The launch of the new 90 range is another major step in Volvo’s transformation.

H Toyota The range of hybrid models available from Toyota has increased and now includes the Yaris, Auris and RAV4 SUV, with all but the RAV available in sub 100g/km CO2 versions. With the Prius still the first option as a fuel efficient small passenger transport vehicle, the addition of a seven seater variation is sure to sustain this. In all, seven hybrid models provide fleet managers with plenty of choice.

H Kia Kia claims to be the fastest growing automotive brand in the world, and now has 24 specialist business dealers throughout the UK. EcoDynamics technology, which makes the most of Intelligent Stop and Go, features across its wide range of fleet offerings, from the Picanto city car through to the all-new Optima plug-in hybrid.

A comprehensive selection tool helps refine the many choices available by contact hire value, P11D value, mpg, BIK value and CO2 emissions.

H Nissan Following a record year of sales and an all time high market share, Nissan announced a number of appointments to its fleet team in order to better support customers with 50-200 vehicles. As well as the zero emissions Leaf and the e-NV200 van, Nissan now offers four models with CO2 below 100g/km, including the Micra, Note, Pulsar and Qashqai.

H Hyundai This year the big news from Hyundai was the launch and availability of the Ioniq, the worlds first car to offer three electrified powertrains. Hybrid and pure electric (which uses a 28kWh lithium-ion polymer battery with an estimated range of 110 miles) variants are available now, with a PHEV model arriving in 2017. Efficiency is achieved via a high-performance HVAC system, low-rolling-resistance tyres and a system that predicts energy requirements based on the programmed route.

Public Sector Fleet of the Year (small – medium)

PRESENTED BY

H University of Birmingham University of Birmingham’s fleet includes 92 diverse vehicles ranging from a 7.5 tonne refrigerated lorry to smaller light commercial vehicles and cars, a quarter of which are alternatively fuelled. It aims to increase this to 40 per cent by 2020, and this year leased the first Hyundai ix35 fuel cell vehicle to be used for commercial purposes. Over 13.5 tonnes of emissions have been reduced by using electric vehicles. The lifecycle costs of its electric fleet in comparison to the combustion engine have made the project viable. Evidence shows that 90 per cent of staff are now happy with their electric vehicles, after initial skepticism, and there’s less accidents due to EV drivers taking better care.

H Oxford City Council Oxford City Council aimed to achieve business and environmental efficiencies in its fleet though a combination of tried and tested methods including Telematics and improving driver behaviour. Fuel/CO2 reductions and cost savings have been realised by driving aids, such as engine mapping, as well as in cab driver behaviour tools identifying driver training needs. Training has reduced the number of accidents since last year by a further 15 per cent.

Telematics are in use on 105 vehicles (including 45 refuse collection and ‘O’ licence vehicles) which has achieved a 70 per cent drop in environmental driving violations (harsh acceleration, idling etc) and fuel/CO2 savings of more than 15 per cent since inception. 45 vehicles in the fleet are either hybrid or pure electric, while the grey fleet is being phased out and replaced with pool fleet and electric bikes. Technical trainig has been undertaken to enable staff to service electric vehicles onsite.

H University of Cambridge Plug-in cars and vans form an increasingly important part of Cambridge University’s fleet, and it was one of the first organisations in the UK to receive ‘Go Ultra Low Company’ status. In 2015 six new electric vans and one grounds utility vehicle joined the fleet.

With a target of 50 per cent electric by 2021, a further five electric vans have been procured and the catering section was provided with two EV chiller conversions in October.

Along with an advanced driver training programme for our regular drivers, a saving of 2,330 litres of fuel of (£3,190) and 5,979 kg of CO2 in one financial year has been achieved.

H Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust Since a 2010 Energy Savings Trust review showed grey fleet emissions were 159g/km, DCHS has expanded its range of environmentally friendly pool cars, and now has 12 hybrids (seven Outlander PHEVs, four Yarises and one Auris) alongside seven Aygos. This has transferred 90,000 miles/year to pool cars, averaging 74g/km, a reduction of 53 per cent against 2010.

DCHS works with a Co-wheels Car Club which provides some of the pool cars and makes these available for public use on evenings and weekends. This means DCHS not only reduces its own emissions, but provides a resource for local people to reduce theirs.

Public Sector Fleet of the Year (medium – large)

SPONSORED BY

H Fife Council A council priority is the introduction of Green Hydrogen vehicles and refuelling stations. The Levenmouth Community Energy project has been delivered in partnership with Bright Green Hydrogen and Toshiba, which has integrated its sophisticated Hydrogen Energy Management control system. The project is aligned to the objectives of the Scottish government’s Local Energy Challenge Fund. Fleet Operations are converting five Ford Transits and two Mercedes Econic/Heil Farid refuse collection vehicles to run on diesel and green hydrogen.

H South East Coast Ambulance Service SECAmb has developed two new integrated patient transport system vehicles with improved ergonomics, resulting in decreased vehicle downtime. This can save 10 minutes per shift – in a system that deploys 330 shifts per day, this equates to £1.2m of time saved per year. Part funded by OLEV, 15 Mitsubishi Outlander response vehicles have been introduced, five of which are fitted with solar panels.

H London Fire Brigade This year the Brigade changed its diesel fleet of 66 ‘blue lighted’ pool cars to 52 range extender electric BMW i3 and five plug in hybrid cars, making it the largest i3 fleet in the UK. This has greatly reduced CO2 emissions from 119g/km to 13g/km and NOx from 149mg/km to 2mg/km for the i3s.

Telematics are also being introduced on all frontline vehicles.

H Gateshead Council Gateshead Council demonstrates a wide a range of carbon reduction initiatives across the fleet operation. It operates 10 electric transit vans, three electric cars and 12 hybrid tippers. Recent initiatives include speed limiting the fleet to 56mph and the recent purchase of five new refuse collection vehicles with Euro-6 engines.

H Tom Henderson – Fife Council In October 2014, Fife Council’s Fleet Operations joined the ECOStars Fleet Recognition Scheme, which provides recognition, guidance and advice on operational best practice to operators of goods vehicles, buses and coaches.

Since then, the fleet has seen continous improvement by introducing low carbon vehicles. Numbers currently stand at 26, including three hybrids which are supported by a portable EV charging unit. Additionally, Fife’s meals on Wheels service will be introducing its second electric van this year.

H Graham Telfer – Gateshead Council Graham’s knowledge of the practices and procedures which reduce fleet mileage has been put to good use by many organisations by across the country. Encouraged by the success of pioneering the use of bio-diesel (95/5 per cent blend) in the mid 90s, he was responsible for undertaking trials of an increased blend (80/20 per cent).

The use of alternative fuels continued with LPG and the more recent introduction of various hybrid and electric vehicles. Currently, Graham is nvolved in the ZERE Project to help deliver range extended electric vehicles using hydrogen fuel cell technology.

H Mark Armstrong-Read – Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust DCHS has 2,000 grey fleet and lease cars. As sustainable travel lead, Mark Armstrong-Read has been responsible for many improvements during the last five years. Expansion of zero and ultra low emission vehicles now sees the Trust operate 12 hybrids (seven Outlander PHEVs, four Yarises and one Auris) alongside seven Aygos and three Nissan e-NV200 electric vans. Lease car policy changes included incentives for cars below 110g/km. Average CO2 of new lease cars in last 12 months is 102.5g/km compared with the national average of new UK cars of 121.4g/km.

H Ian Bourton – Oxford City Council Ian has restructured the fleet operations at Oxford City with efficiency, quality and environmental benefits at the forefront of his objectives. With a fleet of over 320 road registered vehicles and 350 trailers and plant, the latest technology and a robust procurement strategy have brought step change to the fleet operation. Cost savings have exceeded £100,000 to date and continue to fall. Ian and his team will continue to introduce fleet initiatives. Recent successful ULEV bids will lead to a comprehensive charging site infrastructure in Oxford for EV owners, along with a hydrogen fuel filling station.

H John Gorton – Kent & Essex Police John Gorton is responsible for a huge fleet that deploys from 150 locations, across 3,075 square miles. Under his leadership, Transport Services has already delivered over £3m in fleet savings alone. As a proactive member of the National Association of Police Fleet Managers, John engages in several national working groups, including the standardisation of UK police vehicles. His commercial focus has captured the attention of both Chief Officer Boards, who have asked John to support the wider savings agenda using the same core fleet management principles and technology.

H E-Connect Cars E-Connect cars has provided over 100,000 passengers with quiet, smooth and emission free travel throughout the greater London area. Starting with five Nissan Leaf Teknas in January of 2014, the fleet and has now grown to 55 all electric vehicles. It was the first 100 per cent electric vehicle fleet in London to be able to offer clients an executive option with the Tesla model S, as well as a business class option with the top of the range Leaf.

H Vital Energi Vital was an early adopter of green technology, leasing its first hybrids in 2009.

Already significantly below the EU emission standards, its fleet manager has adopted a philosophy of continuous improvement. A solar charging system has made a significant contribution towards the charging of PHEVs and so far the hybrids have completed over one million miles. 38 Citan 109 CDI BlueEfficiency extra-long vans and nine Sprinter 313 CDI BlueEfficiency SWB vans are leased, as well as a new BMW 1 Series pool car from AlphaCity, which reduces grey fleet usage. Emissions are down despite a substantial increase in numbers.

H Jersey Post Jersey Post’s all-electric postal vans from Nissan will deliver the mail on routes across Jersey with more ease. The purchase follows an extensive 18-month trial, working with the local Nissan dealer. The addition of the advanced all-electric vans will reduce Jersey Post’s carbon footprint by 35 tonnes a year, with each Nissan e-NV200 producing just 0.1 tonne of CO2 per year. The model offers a 4.2m3 capacity and an impressive 703kg payload. Eight Rolec wall chargers power the fleet. Nissan’s 100,000 miles warranty influenced Jersey Post’s purchasing decision, and it plans to replace all vehicles with EVs as they come to end of life.

H Powerstar Energy storage and voltage optimisation brand Powerstar is on track to have all its road vehicles electrically powered by 2018. Its electric vehicles will be fully integrated with the company’s latest Virtue energy storage range of EV chargers, which provide both an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), alongside issuing a fast charge to connected cars. To showcase its capabilities, the company is installing Virtue EV charging stations at its facility in Sheffield. The stations will be available to guests and act as a demonstration tool for potential clients.

H WEGO Couriers WEGO Couriers was formerly Pedal Express, which initially purchased load carrying bicycles. This was supplemented by a fleet of electric vehicles as early as 2003, and the company now regularly delivers larger equipment, such as furniture items. WEGO subsequently went on to form a truly unique partnership with InterCity RailFreight (ICRF) which facilitates deliveries by high speed train between key UK cities that are faster and greener than existing road based couriers.

Route Monkey is a global leader in the scheduling and optimisation of assets for a wide range of sectors including fleets, logistics, and ultra‑low emission vehicles (ULEVs).

Private Sector Fleet of the Year (Medium – Large)

H Microsoft Always a keen proponent of green technology, Microsoft has made a serious commitment to the environmental benefits of ULEVs over the past five years.

More than one in ten (12 per cent) of its entire UK company car fleet is now hybrid or fully electric (60 out of 520 cars). This figure is expected to double to nearly a quarter (24 per cent or 120 cars) by April 2017. The equivalent figure amongst the grey fleet is five per cent and rising.

H Speedy Asset Services Ltd Three BMW i3s have been specially adapted for commercial use as part of a three-month trial at Speedy Asset Services which could save up to £3,000 per year in congestion charge fees alone. The i3s are used in place of a Transit, with the company keen to investigate other savings associated with operating EVs, such as fuel and tax. Two i3s have been deployed in London and one in Manchester, with the latter to provide a better understanding of how easily an EV can be operated outside London, where charging points are less common.

H Britvic Britvic’s 515 strong fleet is made up of 92 LCVs and 423 cars, with 60 alternative fuel & electric vehicles now making up 11 per cent of the total fleet. For each level of employee ‘band’, it provides two or three hybrid or electric alternatives, advertising the ‘whole life cost’ of a vehicle to the employee. This is championed by the plc Executive team, whose company cars are all fully electric. Pool vehicles are plug-in hybrids. Trails of hybrid and EV technology for the Light Commercial fleet are currently underway. The carbon produced for all business travel is offset through projects in Brazil.

H Galliford Try By using Whole Life Cost data to specify the most cost effective vehicles, Galliford Try has been able to switch users to low CO2 cars. The company car choice list reflects the increasingly low CO2 cars that are available in the marketplace and by publishing the BIK tax payable each month against each car, the benefit is highlighted to drivers, resulting in the average CO2 across the company car fleet reducing from 125g/km in 2012 to 101g/km today.

With the adoption of PHEVs, the carbon footprint is continuing to drop.

H Gnewt Cargo Gnewt Cargo manages fuel costs of one pence per mile with a fleet of more than 100 electric vehicles, which in 2015 collectively clocked up 200,000 miles.

The company claims it operates the largest commercial fully electric transport operation in any city worldwide, delivering between 5,000 and 20,000 parcels daily. Independent verification by the University of Westminster suggests the company’s business model has cut CO2 emissions per parcel delivered by 62 per cent and reduced kerbside space usage by 54 per cent. It is a bronze member of the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme and is hoping to achieve silver standard.

GREENFLEET AWARDS – 17 November 2016

Private Sector Fleet Manager of the Year H Will Smith – Britvic Will is responsible for ensuring Britvic’s fleet of 515 vehicles is as green as possible. The use of hybrid and electric vehicles is promoted in all company car literature, and for each level of employee ‘band’, Britvic provides two or three hybrid or electric alternatives, advertising the ‘whole life cost’ of a vehicle to the employee. This is championed by the PLC Executive team, whose company cars are all fully electric. Pool vehicles are plug-in hybrids, and trials are currently underway of hybrid and electric technology for the LCV fleet. Free charging points feature at Britvic’s offices and these are currently being rolling out to the manufacturing sites, including both ‘fast charge’ and regular charging solutions.

H Alan Baker – Galliford Try As fleet manager for Galliford Try, Alan Baker manages a central hire and service desk that is challenged with providing the right vehicle to cope with the varied requirements of a diverse Group of Companies from the tip of Cornwall to the Shetland Isles. Various procurement options keep environmental considerations at the forefront. By clearly demonstrating whole life costs to users, the average CO2 across the company car fleet of 2,400 vehicles is now just 101g/km today. Nearly 10 per cent of the fleet are plug-in hybrids, with 115 Mitsubishi Outlanders as well as an increasing number of Golf GTE’s and Tesla cars. These are suitable for staff who drive up 20,000 miles per year and can be charged at a number of company locations.

Due to the dedicated focus of Alan, in recent years Galliford Try has already hit the target of at least five per cent of vehicles being electric by 2020.

H Chris Beattie – WEGO Couriers Chris has been at the vanguard of eco-friendly delivery solutions.

Former company Pedal Express Ltd was using load carrying bicycles for last mile deliveries as early as 1998. Chris went on to successfully develop and expand the company, with clients such as Experian, Nottinghamshire County Council, Cartwright King and Boots coming on board. Pedal Express evolved into WEGO Couriers and became certified bio-hazard couriers as business expanded into the medical sector. WEGO currently serves clients in a diverse range of industries, including engineering, legal, retail, food, transport and the Arts.

In July 2015, 58.82 per cent of deliveries were carbon neutral, with Chris actively seeking to source larger electric vehicles.

Innovations introduced by Alphabet in the last 12 months are increasing efficiencies.

Teleservice, launched in January 2016, forewarns Alphabet’s maintenance team when a dashboard alert appears for the driver. Using data direct from the vehicle manufacturer without retro-fitted telematics enables the team to contact the driver to confirm how long it will take and undertake other maintenance required.

H Elm EV Elm EV is independent supplier and installer of electric vehicle charging equipment to private and public sectors, one of only three companies in the UK approved and certified to install the ICU EVe, which has built-in technology for smart charging, distributing the available power and combating grid overload. Elm EV also advises on a range of electric vehicles through its extensive list of contacts in manufacturing.

H Perpetual V2G Perpetual V2G Systems has developed a patented lithium-ion power supply which works by capturing energy that would otherwise be wasted during a vehicle’s drive time. This application can be seen in refrigerated vehicles that require engine idle for power. The system eliminates the need for this, powering the refrigeration unit from the battery as soon as the engine is turned off.

H BMW In January BMW made significant enhancements to ConnectedDrive, which now offers a host of services via an embedded SIM, such as Concierge Services, Music Streaming, Real Time Traffic Information and Internet, on a monthly basis and renewed to suit each owner. To support fleets, a recent pilot enables fleet managers to proactively monitor and manage their SMR costs and can direct their fleet to their preferred service partner.

H Fleetdrive Electric EV Flexi-lease offers a flexible way to explore the new technology. With the ability to easily extend the short-term rental contract, organisations are able to conduct comprehensive trials, testing and monitoring within a practical application to ensure suitability, and experience first-hand how new generation EVs offer a viable alternative to many petrol/diesel vehicles without being financially committed for the long-term.
