West Way Oldham recognised for supporting local council’s green initiative

West Way has supplied 8 Nissan LEAFs and 2 E-NV200 vans to Oldham Councils eco-friendly electric vehicle fleet in total. Since delivery of the first vehicle, the council has covered 263,260 miles by the District and Enforcement Teams. Greater Manchester Police and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue officers have also used them as patrol vehicles.

Councillor Abdul Jabbar, Deputy Leader of Oldham Council and Cabinet Member for Finance and Green, said: “We’ve set out our stall out to be the greenest local authority in Greater Manchester by pledging to cut emissions and becoming the first Green New Deal Council in the country.   

Phil Behrens, West Way Oldham’s General Manager, said: “In 2014 Oldham Council took the bold step to reduce their carbon footprint by changing to 100% electric vehicles.

“By choosing Nissan LEAF and eNV200 models, they’ve cut their carbon dioxide emissions by more than 55 tonnes over the last six years and West Way are delighted to have helped them make Oldham’s air quality better for everyone.”

Greater Manchester Combined Authority has been instructed by central government to put a Clean Air Zone in place across the city-region to reduce air pollution. West Way looks forward to continuing to support the council in their endeavours for cleaner air.
