subject: Eco-friendly Vans For Sale From High Profile Uk Specialists. [print this page] The state of the environment is an issue that has been at the forefront of public discussion for some time now. Despite the widespread understanding that vehicles are contributing significantly to global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels, many businesses still rely upon trucks, boats and aeroplanes to function.
Fortunately, there are companies in the UK who amongst their vans for sale, are retailing an energy efficient vehicle that has recently been named the green commercial vehicle of the year 2009 at the Fleet Transport Awards.
This is a great investment for those businesses that rely heavily upon their fleet but are keen to reduce their carbon footprint. The gas-powered vehicle runs on liquid biomethane (LBM), a sustainable fuel that is taken from landfill sites.
Essentially the waste that is disposed of by society is used to power this commercial van.
LBM is extremely efficient; one tonne of the gas can fill a 44 tonne heavy goods vehicle for one week, whereas it would require 1,200 litres of diesel for the same purpose. It has a much lower carbon density than other fuels and it has been proven to reduce CO emissions by up to 62% compared to other diesel vans.
The vehicle is available in 28 models, between 3.5 and 6.5 tonnes; they also comprise a selection of features and bodies making them suitable for commercial use such as; curtainsides, tippers, dropsides and boxes.
If you are looking to purchase a new vehicle for your fleet and would like to minimise your businesses carbon footprint, consider purchasing one of the eco-friendly models available from UK specialists. Feel free to give them a call to discuss your requirements or take a look at the in-depth specifications of all of their vehicles on their website.
