It is a privately owned company operating a network of thirty plus wholly owned ServiceCentres across the UK which enables the company to provide a truly national and/or local service to their customers.

CitySprint has adopted a number of environmentally friendly practices since 2002 and aims to continue and extend these throughout their business. The company believes it has a commitment to the environment and to ensuring the business activities of CitySprint take into consideration the impact on the environment and to the continual review of these activities.

The company has achieved the ISO 14001:2004 – Environmental Management System (EMS) accreditation, won the Environmental Award at the 2007 International Freighting Weekly Awards and is now the worthy winner of the Greenfleet TfL Private Sector Fleet of the Year Award.

Runner-up: Green Tomato Cars
Greentomatocars is an environmentally friendly private hire service. By using one of the greenest vehicles around – the Toyota Prius – and planting trees to make up for unavoidable emissions, greentomatocars do the least damage to the environment when getting you from A to B.

The company is now operating 24/7 across the whole of London. Trials for the Super Prius are currently taking place with greentomatocars preparing to release the world's first plug-in hybrid taxi around London in silent, zero emission mode.

Commended: Tesco
Tesco have become the first company in the UK to run a fleet of battery powered zero emission home delivery vans in partnership with Modec. The new van technology with its space age design has the same capacity as a standard Tesco.com van, covering a range of over 100 miles before needing to be recharged and restricted to a maximum speed of 50 mph. This highlights Tesco's environmental attempts to create a low-carbon society.
