Plymouth Science Park tenant Acronyms have added two new electric vans to their fleet in their bid to become carbon neutral following the Park’s installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
IT support company Acronyms work across Plymouth, Cornwall and Devon, visiting clients in person to resolve issues which can’t be managed remotely. The team have recently introduced two new electric vehicles to their fleet, reducing fuel costs and lowering the company’s carbon footprint.
Dave Smith, managing director at Acronyms, said:
“Every company will need to take steps to become net zero, and the sooner the better. By starting to make small changes such that we can easily implement in our day-to-day work, such as this, we can work towards our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral.”
Sustainability is a priority for Plymouth Science Park, and the installation of ten new EV charging points on site in 2020 to support tenants switching to electric vehicles is really starting to bear fruit, allowing businesses such as Acronyms to take steps towards becoming carbon neutral.
The installation was supported by funding from Plymouth City Council as part of a wider city initiative. The charging points allow tenants to charge their vehicles on site, meaning that tenants, visitors and companies like Acronyms can travel when they need, without having to worry about recharging.
