PRIVATE SECTOR INNOVATION AWARD
Winner: Green Tomato Cars Greentomatocars maintains environmentalism as the backbone of all that it does and all that it communicates. The company has adopted an innovative approach which has led to instant public recognition through press coverage and word of mouth, proving that there is an appetite for transport provision with low emission vehicles. In turn, this has inspired many other companies to copy the concept, whether it is existing companies adding Prius to their fleets or new companies springing up.
So far no private hire company has come up with any further innovation like Greentomatocars, indeed the plug-in hybrid, telematics and marketing campaign produced are unique in the private sector.
This highlights the effort and financial commitment involved. The deployment of these elements reflects how genuinely committed Greentomatocars is to innovation in the environmental sector.
