At Drive Green we are always trying to do everything we can to reduce our carbon impact, as well as trying to set green examples for the rest of the motor trade to follow. As a result to we have tried to reduce the number of vehicles delivered by diesel car transporters. and over the last 6 months, we have undertaken a study to try and see if there is another practical way of managing our deliveries, without the need of diesel fuel, and to see what the operational and financial implications of using alternative delivery methods are, as well as the carbon savings achieved. The results in just the first 6 months of this project have been surprisingly successful in terms of both carbon and cost savings, hopefully proving to the rest of the motor trade that it is possible to greatly reduce the carbon impact of your car deliveries.
