Overall Context

• Speedy has always taken its wider
  responsibilities seriously
• Began taking a more structured approach in 2005
• Building on strong foundations we analysed our CR
  Impacts in
• The marketplace (customers/suppliers)
• The workplace (employees)
• The environment (inc Transport)
• The community (building more strategic community
  partnerships)

7
Transport Context

• Vehicle Fleet prior to Hewden acquisition 2,121
• Cars 859
• Light Commercial 1171
• Heavy Goods 91
• Vehicle Fleet post Hewden acquisition 2,932
• Cars 1,087
• Light commercial 1,750
• Heavy Goods 95
• Previously the Speedy fleet has shown year on
  year C02 reductions (per vehicle) over last 6
  years
• Inherited Fleet providing a challenge

8
Our Transport Activity

• Fleet is the newest in the sector (replaced every
  30 months)
• Fleet converted to 100 diesel over the last 3
  years
• Commercial fleet speed limited (reduces fuel
  usage/increases safety)
• Driver training programme for company car drivers
  (more fuel efficient/safer driving)

9
Our Transport Impacts

• Fuel usage/CO2 emissions (per vehicle)

10
Future Activity

• Hewden fleet to be renewed over the next 7 months
• Work with suppliers on vehicle emissions, a few
  cars already meeting 2010 target of lt120g C02 per
  kilometre
• Work on more efficient transport logistics
• Electric Vehicles!

11
Modec

• Pick Up version would probably not have been
  manufactured without Speedy support and input

12
Benefits

• Vehicle charges up overnight
• Does 120 miles on a full charge
• Capable of 60 m.p.h.
• No emissions in operation
• Does not attract congestion charge
• Adds to London Clean Air policy

13
But.

• Emissions attached to charging Speedy are
  currently investigating renewable energy sources
  so this may change
• Silent although this is positive in terms of
  noise pollution etc there may be issues over
  safety
• Disposal of battery at end of life

14
To conclude

• Initial reaction has been positive
• From employees
• From customers
• From comments form the general public
• Project still very much in pilot phase
• The Modec vehicle currently represents a small
  part of our overall approach to energy efficiency
  and our commitment to climate change

15
A final word from our Group Fleet Director

• The responsible management, provision and
  maintenance of the most up to date vehicle fleet
  in our sector allows us to meet our customers
  requirements and reduce our environmental
  impacts. The electric vehicle pilot in London is
  just another example of what is becoming an
  increasingly compelling business case
