Philip Sellwood, chief executive of the Energy Saving Trust, said: “Working with fleets to save energy brings a wide range of positive impacts – not only significant cost and carbon emission reductions but also safety benefits and air quality improvement. Our Fleet Heroes are pioneering the use of new technology, from telematics to ultra-low emission vehicles, to bring change at scale. The awards independently validate their achievements, and recognise the years of determined effort they have made to bring change.”
