Oxford County Council Goes Green For Its Vehicle Rental

21st March 2008

Oxford County Council's Integrated Transport Unit today rented their first vehicle from Green Motion in Oxford. As part of Oxford County Council's policy to reduce their carbon footprint they have, where possible, switched to renting low CO2 and fuel efficient vehicles from Green Motion whose fleet includes cars and vans from Citroen, Volkswagen, Toyota and BMW.

Brian Webzell, Vehicle Fleet Engineer, of Oxford County Council's Integrated Transport Unit, said 'we were really pleased to hear that Green Motion had opened a branch here locally in Oxford - their service perfectly compliments the County Council's commitment to reduce its overall carbon emissions'. Brian went on to say 'as well as benefiting from a great choice of vehicles we have also been able to substantially reduce our fuel spend due to many of the vehicles for rental from Green Motion, such as the VW Polo Bluemotion and the Toyota Prius, having excellent fuel economy.'

The owner of Green Motion Oxford, Max Jacobs, said 'I am delighted that Oxford County Council has chosen Green Motion as one of its rental partners. Oxford County Council joins a growing number of companies and organisations all looking to play their part in reducing carbon emissions - we are happy to be of service to them.'
