The Government has set a deadline of 2025 for the UK to reduce its CO2 emissions and Eagles Chauffeurs is well on track to becoming London’s greenest and most efficient private hire fleet.
After working closely with major clients, Eagles Chauffeurs have managed to reduce their drivers’ “dead mileage” by 15% over the last two years, simply because their vehicles rarely have to travel more than one mile to arrive at their next pick-up point. The emissions are lower than those of their competitors, who, owing to their smaller fleet sizes, often need to travel several miles between jobs. This has led to a reduction of greenhouse emissions by 15%, which equates to approximately 4000 tonnes in one year.
The company is not stopping there as they are working rapidly to make further cuts in vehicle emissions. There’s currently a three-way plotting system for all their drivers, meaning it will reduce distance to pick-up point by an average of 50%, saving 150 miles per day. With the increase in workflow, Eagles Chauffeurs are now working on the introduction of a four-way plotting system.
Two of the main vehicles used by the company include the Mercedes S-Class and the Mercedes E-Class, both of which are considerably greener than any other vehicles in their class. The S-Class was the world’s first car awarded an environmental certificate in recognition of its ISO standard, while the E-Class lowers CO2 emissions to just 109 G/KM.
Eagles Chauffeurs aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 60% by 2025.
