A total of 26 charging points and 28 designated parking bays have been installed,\u00a0in order to ensure that the electric vans\u00a0don’t go\u00a0short of power or parking. The new electric vans are expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 40% compared to the previous fleet.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have worked closely with Lex Autolease and Nissan to introduce this new fleet that makes a significant reduction to carbon dioxide emissions and respects our customers need for a value for money solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reduced emissions and fuel use by replacing nearly half of the fleet with Nissan electric vehicles would have a significant environmental impact on Portsmouth Naval Base.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In total, the conversion of more than a third of BAE Systems\u2019 vehicle fleet to Nissan\u2019s e-NV200 Combis will save \u00a3360,000 in fuel and other costs over the duration of the contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
