FLEET MANAGER OF THE YEAR (PUBLIC SECTOR)
Winner: Chris Rutherford - London Borough of Islington
The London Borough of Islington is tackling climate change by considering every conceivable angle relating to their fleet.
By purchasing the latest vehicles such as the Modec commercial EV, the Smart EV, over fifty LPG vehicles, hybrid cars and running their larger vehicles on bio-diesel or liquefied natural gas, Islington is saving a significant amount of fuel and dramatically reducing their emissions.
The savings made across the entire fleet due to fuel reductions, congestion charge savings and raising their profile for grants has saved the borough an estimated £198,000 and 184 tonnes of CO2.
Fleet Manager Chris Rutherford has demonstrated a personal commitment to reducing CO2 in Islington's Fleet by his participation in seminars, workshops and other green events. Their success in the 2007 Green Fleet Capital fuel challenge (averaging 50+MPG over a 24 mile route through London) demonstrates the Borough’s effectiveness in promoting eco-driving.
Runner-up: Ben Davis - Govt Car & Despatch Agency
Government Cars has taken the lead in Government Departments in respect of reducing fleet CO2 emissions and has had some considerable success in ensuring the fleet is more environmentally friendly than ever before. Fleet Manager Ben Davis has been instrumental in ensuring the smooth running and procurement of its fleet.
Commended: Alan Hocking - Humberside Police
Humberside Police have always looked to the future for ways in which it can not only impact on the reduction of crime, but also on the ways that its decision making effects the community it serves in terms of environmental and social issues. |
