BOPDHB takes delivery of first three
hybrid technology cars

The BOPDHB is journeying towards a cleaner
greener vehicle fleet as it takes delivery of its
first three hybrid technology cars.
A hybrid car is one which uses more than one means of propulsion
- that means combining a petrol or diesel engine with an electric
motor. The main advantages of a hybrid are that it consumes less
fuel and emits less CO2 than a comparable conventional petrol or
diesel-engined vehicle.
"Part of the journey towards being a sustainable organisation
is reducing the environmental impact of our activities,” says
Sustainability Manager Vicktoria Blake. “This is a step towards
reducing the carbon footprint caused from our travel."
The DHB’s vehicles possess new features such as low rolling
resistance tyres to further enhance fuel efficiency, as well as
improved safety features for staff. The Corolla Hatch Hybrid has
‘best in class’ overall fuel consumption of 4.1 L/100kms and CO2
emissions of 96 g/km. By way of comparison, the petrol-engined
Corolla GLX is rated at 6.1 L/100kms and 143 g/km.
The DHB has recently signed up to CEMARS (Carbon Emissions
Measurement and Reduction Scheme) as an onward commitment
to reducing carbon emissions. The cars, and more like it to follow,
are part of that commitment.
