FLEET MANAGER OF THE YEAR (PRIVATE SECTOR)

sponsored by Venson

Winner: Kevin Webb - Business Post
Kevin Webb believes environmentally we all have a part to play whether it be the smaller tasks at home or more importantly in business where even the smallest action can make a significant difference. During his time at Business Post, Kevin has been directly responsible for a number of specification changes.

Alterations to the make up of the company car fleet have resulted in a combined lower than average CO2 out put of 158.70g/km. Business Post is now considering a cap on CO2 levels for all cars set at 165g/km this will effectively further reduce the overall average by 3.3% to 154.20g/km and reduce fuel usage by 3.1%. Also the use of Bio-Diesel where available has been introduced at all corporate sites, it is a 95%: 5% blend. Independent tests on this fuel carried out at an approved vehicle testing lab reported a reduction in CO2 emissions and an improved fuel efficiency of 1.5 - 2.0%.

Kevin Webb and Business Post will continue to explore other means of reducing the environmental impact of the current and future fleet operated by the business.

Runner-up: Glenn Ewen - Clear Channel
Commercial pressures and a desire from Local Authorities that contractors should be 'greener', led Clear Channel UK to start using alternative fuels in 1998. I n 2002, they commenced changing the entire Light Commercial Fleet to LPG. This now consists of 335 Bi-fuel vans: Ford Transits, Transit Connects and Vauxhall Combos.

Commended: Zoe Powers - Greater London Hire
