Manx post office goes electric
May 8, 2008 Posted by: Simon
The Isle of Man Post Office has announced that it is going green. It has included an electric post van on its 99 strong collection and delivery vehicle fleet for the first time ever.
According to the Post Office the Mega Multitruck ultra-light electric van has cut fuel costs from 17p to less than two pence a mile.
The move is part of a pilot scheme to see how the organisation might best run electric as a way of cutting fuel costs and carbon emissions.
Malcolm MacPherson, managing director of the Isle of Man Post Office said that the new vehicle replaced a car-derived diesel van to give zero exhaust emissions and a 21% cut in fuel costs from 17 to 2 pence a mile.
