Sheffield Chamber Of Commerce Gets Smart
Sheffield’s Chamber of Commerce has taken delivery of eight smart fortwo cdi’s vehicles after considering its unrivalled economical and environmental performance, which has proved key in the Chamber’s choice. The UK’s first corporate order for the new fortwo cdi was delivered by smart of Sheffield after winning a competitive tender.
The smart fortwo cdi is world’s most efficient production car, the model returns a staggering 85.6 miles per gallon (combined) and emits just 88g/km of CO2 meaning that no road fund licence is required. The cars will be used to visit the 2,700 member companies in who call upon the advice, support and representation of Sheffield’s Chamber of Commerce.
Stephen Mitchell, Sheffield Chamber corporate partnerships director said: “We are delighted that the cars are being provided locally and by a company which has strong ties to the Chamber.
“It was a priority that the cars we chose displayed outstanding environmental credentials but were cheap to run too. However we also require them to be highly visible and, once liveried, the smarts will certainly provide a good look for us as they travel around the city.”
Tony Dent, Corporate Sales Manager for Mercedes-Benz and smart of Sheffield, was delighted to have secured such a high-profile order for the new smart diesel.
“It is fantastic for us to be associated with such a well-known organisation within the city’s business community and we hope that other local firms will follow their lead by considering the smart.
“As an all-round company vehicle package, the smart fortwo cdi really does represent an excellent business decision – not only in terms of its low emissions and fuel consumption but because the car is 100 per cent tax deductible in the first year of ownership.”
