sustainability of our planet.

“Our operations, like all

businesses, have an environmental

impact. We’re constantly looking at

more ways where we can reduce

this impact.

“We already use recycled water

and water tanks at our depots,

as well as LED and sensor lights.

Adding solar to the list is just

another step in the right direction.

“We also recently introduced

stringent Euro 6 vehicles into our

fleet with low-emission diesel

engines, which achieved a 75

per cent reduction in emissions

compared with previous buses,

which is a great feat,” he said.
