Transport

In recent years strict legislation and financial incentives have encouraged manufacturers to produce cleaner more efficient vehicles and the public to purchase less polluting fuels. In spite of this progress road transport remains a major source of air pollution, contributing heavily to climate change (through CO2 emissions) and poor local air quality.

Vans and cars used for business purposes produce approximately 15% of all road traffic CO2 emissions

The UK Government is committed to further reducing vehicle emissions and numbers by actively promoting fuel efficiency, improved vehicle utilisation and the purchasing of cleaner and more efficient vehicles and backing these schemes with financial assistance and even stricter legislation

Therefore whether you are a self-employed taxi driver or manager of a road haulage firm it makes good environmental and financial sense to reduce the environmental impact of your businesses vehicles.
