Peugot Provides EDF Energy with ‘Green’ Vans
Posted on: January 31st, 2008 by Emma YoungPeugeot is assisting EDF Energy with fulfilling its commitment to make a 20% reduction in fleet vehicle CO2 emissions by 2012. EDF is one of Peugot’s largest fleet customers.
The energy company, which is one of the largest in the UK, has recently added nearly 250 Peugeot light commercial vehicles to its fleet. The cars are showcasing the latest in clean, efficient diesel technology.
The latest order, a mixture of 207, Partner and Expert vans, forms part of the 3,500 strong EDF Energy, dual-badge, Peugeot and Ford van fleet. Peugeot also supplies around 500 cars to the fleet, the majority being diesel engine versions of 307, 407 and the new 308.
Peugeot offers a fully integrated service to EDF Energy. It helps the company to maximise efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions before its vehicles even hit the road. Peugeot’s Regional Distribution Centre in Sheerness acts a central provision point for aftermarket fittings, including mobile phone installations and EDF Energy livery. This cuts down on further emissions as each vehicle does not have to driven between vehicle outfitting companies.
EDF Energy’s vehicle fleet covers a mammoth 80 million miles each year. The vehicles provide transportation to employees to undertake a number of tasks including customer meter reading, emergency repairs and maintenance for the energy network that supplies almost 36% of the UK’s electricity.
