CitySprint, the UK's largest privately owned SameDay Distribution company, sponsored the Environmental Transport award at the Government Business Awards on Thursday 17th February at Twickenham Stadium.
The awards recognise local authorities and central government departments that have demonstrated sound business judgement and operational expertise in a range of areas. These include procurement, building, facilities management, revenue generation, human resources, finance, market research and sustainability.
The Environmental Transport award, which was sponsored by CitySprint, was awarded to the local government agency that has implemented cost effective measures to help reduce the environmental impact of local authority transport services. CitySprint's Justin Moore, Sales and Marketing Director, presented the Environmental Transport award to Gateshead Council, rewarded for their Electric Vehicle Procurement scheme. Gateshead has become one of the biggest investors in Electric Vehicle technology by adding 10 electric vans to its fleet through the Low Carbon Vehicle Procurement Programme. Based on the Ford Transit chassis, vans are powered by advanced Lithium-Ion batteries, and can be fully recharged in around eight hours.
