A public sector focused issue

The government is clear that it wants electric vehicles to be commonplace on our roads to reduce emissions and improve air quality. It must therefore lead by example if it wants others to follow suit.

This issue of GreenFleet has a public sector focus. Contibrutors include ClientEarth’s Dominic Phinn who examines the latest air quality measures by local authorities, including what more needs to be done.

Kim Harrison from the Crown Commercial Service gives information on the updated fleet framework and how it can help the public sector make greener purchases. Meanwhile, our new Panel of Experts share advice on how public sector organisations can make the switch to electric vehicles, or if not, other ways in which they can green their fleets.

Meanwhile on page 26, Nick Molden from AIR explains the thinking behind the new AIR Index – a colour coded rating system that shows how clean or dirty vehicles are in the real world, with some surprising results.
