Volkswagen named 2010 Fleet Hero
Volkswagen has been named the 2010 Energy Saving Trust Fleet Hero Award for Innovation in Car and Van Manufacture for its contribution to green fleet management, most notably with its BlueMotion Technologies ‘brand’.
Volkswagen is far from taking a single course in its approach to future mobility and its reduced impact on the environment with development not only focused on electric cars, but also further enhancing technologies which are here now and will be common in ten years time such as hydrogen fuel cells.
Chief Executive of the Energy Saving Trust commented, Philip Sellwood, commented: ‘Congratulations to Volkswagen UK for winning the Energy Saving Trust Fleet Hero Award for Innovation in Car and Manufacture. The Fleet Hero Awards highlights those who have not only taken steps to help the environment but also to save money and resources. This is a great example for others to follow.’
Transport Minister Norman Baker MP added: ‘It gives me a great pleasure to support the Energy Saving Trust’s Fleet Hero Awards and in recognising the achievements that organisations are making to reduce emissions and costs from their fleets.
‘While much of the debate on tackling climate change focuses on long term solutions, fleets can make an active and meaningful contribution today. Organisations both large and small can make a real difference through procuring greener, cleaner vehicles, or improving fuel consumption through driver training or simply by reducing business travel. The excellent efforts and innovation shown by the award winners and nominees give me great encouragement that the fleet industry can and will meet these challenges.’
