Climatecars continue to champion green living with Beazley

Climatecars partners with insurer Beazley to grow London’s green taxi revolution

Climatecars (www.climatecars.com), the pioneers of the green taxi revolution, has achieved another first. By installing a charge point at a Beazley’s office, Climatecars has overcome the logistics of being able to recharge the electric vehicles while on the go. The client, specialist insurer Beazley (www.beazley.com) now has an fully electric car on site at all times with a dedicated parking bay next to the charge point.

In order for this sector to continue its rapid growth, Climatecars felt that identifying ways of increasing the efficiency of the service was crucial, therefore, Climatecars took the decision to install its own infrastructure to power their luxury fleet of environmentally friendly hybrid cars.

Nicko Williamson, founder and Managing Director of Climatecars said: “Climatecars is delighted to be working with Beazley on our first dedicated client charge point for our new fully electric vehicles. We will be basing two electric Renault Fluence at Beazley’s offices throughout the day, giving Beazley quick access to fully electric cars with Climatecars drivers, and giving Climatecars the ability to run more electric cars and overcome the range issues. Beazley have demonstrated their commitment to emissions reduction by being the first client to sign up to this scheme.”

Clive Washbourn, the CSR Committee Chair at Beazley said: “We track our carbon emissions carefully at Beazley and are constantly looking for ways to minimise them. The Climatecars charge point at our head office will help ensure that this environmentally friendly and efficient form of transport is readily available to our employees whenever it is required.”

Founded by entrepreneur Nicko Williamson, Climatecars is an eco-friendly car service targeting corporate clients and also normal Londoners who can pay cash or on a credit card. It has become one of the fastest growing companies in its sector since it launched in 2007.
