Partners in cutting CO2

EDF Energy are on course to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions after adding nearly 250 Peugeot LCVs to their fleet.

The energy company – one of the largest in the UK – has pledged to cut its vehicle emissions by 20 per cent in just four years.

And in a clear demonstration of Peugeot’s efficient HDi diesel technology, they have selected a mixture of 207, Partner and Expert vans to help them achieve this goal.

It’s not an easy task – EDF Energy’s fleet cover an astonishing 80 million miles each year, reading customer meters and carrying out emergency repairs for the energy network.

Chris Pascall, EDF Energy’s Head of Transport says: ‘To ensure EDF Energy meets its emissions reduction target, it is vital we have access to the latest, sustainable vehicle technology.

‘Peugeot HDi engines offer this without the need to compromise on safety or practicality. We are also looking forward to new developments in environmentally friendly technology like the new 308 HDi 90 that has CO2 emissions of just 120g/km, and the Bipper van.’

All Peugeot HDi diesel engines, dating back to 1998, can also be operated on biodiesel of a mixture up to 30 per cent without any modifications.

David Peel, Peugeot UK’s Fleet Director says:
‘The focus of all Peugeot fleet activity is to reduce environmental impact as much as possible, whether this is through the use of clean, efficient diesel engines or through intelligent utilisation of our facilities.’
