South Yorkshire Police go green

SOUTH Yorkshire Police has become the first force to join a scheme helping to improve its vehicle fleet’s air quality.

ECO Stars encourages operators to reduce emissions and fuel consumption and the force is working towards a five-star rating from its current three.

Head of vehicle fleet management Sarah Gilding said: “We are committed to encouraging greener travel and to maximising the efficiency of our vehicles to reduce our carbon footprint.

“Becoming the first police force in the UK to be part of the ECO Stars scheme demonstrates this commitment.”
