Utilities Firm Has Electric Drive

Bolton, United Kingdom, May 21, 2015 --(PR.com)-- ISO 14001 accredited Smart Meter installation and maintenance company, Trojan Utilities, takes a drive down electric avenue as it looks to reduce the environmental impact of its fleet through the trial of electric transport.

The first on trial is a Renault Kangoo van that emits no CO2, which in turn benefits the ozone, poses no danger to public health, does not noise pollute and incurs no road tax, not to mention lower maintenance costs.

Darren Hodginson, Fleet Manager at Trojan Utilities says: “Environmental management is a huge part of our business, we are committed to reducing our emissions and carbon footprint through innovative solutions that can help us achieve this.”

With over 100 engineer vans out in the field at any one time Trojan Utilities will be putting to the test other makes and models of electric vehicles over a six month period to find the right environmental solution for them.

Trojan Utilities is the fastest growing Smart Meter installation and maintenance company in the UK. With an infrastructure now established for national operations the company is supporting Government legislation to lower the carbon footprint of the UK by replacing the metering system currently in place with that of smart metering – to date they are currently installing 2,500 smart meters per week.
