Ashtons’ choice of new cars is a lot greener than the Nissan Jukes that people in York are used to seeing their negotiators drive around in.
The company has ditched the diesel guzzlers and introduced a new fleet of electric vehicles across the company – a more eco-friendly move that started last year.
Ashtons, which has six offices across York, Acomb and Selby says its fleet of pool cars, including two hybrid and eight all-electric cars, have saved 16.2 tonnes of Co2 emissions.
Half of the full-electric fleet is the branded Hydundai Konas, featuring zero emissions and a range up to 220 miles, making them much cleaner and quieter than the previous diesel vehicles.
Three electric charging points have been installed at the staff car parks near the York office on Bootham, as well as home charging for staff that require regular use of the vehicles.
Peter Docwra, managing director, told the press: “This is just one of the ways in which Ashtons are becoming more sustainable, as we integrate greener technology into our business model, while paving the way to a cleaner and greener York.”
