UK GreenFleet Awards 2008

Now in its ninth year, the GreenFleet Awards 2008 will take place at Twickenham on Thursday 25th September and will once again recognise the pioneers of environmental fleet management.

The climax of the 2008 GreenFleet series of events will see public and private sector organisations rewarded for their efforts in environmental fleet management and green motoring at a spectacular awards evening

During the day, a small conference and exhibition will take place, featuring the latest innovations in manufacturing, technology and fuel. Visitors are encouraged to attend from the fleet and freight industries, with particular attention paid to London fleets. A buffet luncheon will be provided for pre-registered visitors.

In the afternoon, the public and private sector top three placed entrants from the Capital Fuel Challenge, held in July, will each provide a 5 minute presentation as to why they think their efforts should win them the TFL Public/Private sector Capital Fleet of the Year award. These will be judged by an independent panel, with a decision reached on the overall winners on the day when the audience will get a chance to cast their votes electronically using devices supplied by O2. The entrants will have previously competed in London rush hour traffic to complete a specified journey distance in the least amount of time, using the most economic and least polluting fuel. Independent testing is carried out after all cars have completed the challenge. Transport for London is sponsoring the Private and Public Sector Fleet Capital Fleet of the Year Awards, and will present the representatives from the winning fleets at the evening event.

Judged by representatives from the Institute of Car Fleet Management, the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership and GreenFleet magazine, the awards are fast becoming a key date in the transport industry calendar. Hotly contested awards include the GreenFleet Car Manufacturer of the Year, which examines the efforts made by manufacturers to cut CO2 and other pollutants from their range. In 2007 this went to Citroen, whose entire range can now run on up to 30 per cent biodiesel, unmodified.
