Vehicle Supplier Day event to help shape new vehicle fleet
13 March 2025
As part of efforts to drive an increasingly environmentally friendly vehicle fleet, West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is hosting a Vehicle Supplier Day to help shape its Fleet Climate Strategy.
The event will take place on Wednesday 26 March from 10am to 4pm in Northampton’s Market Square with WNC employees, partners, local residents and businesses invited to go along to find out more.
With a number of fleet hire companies, exhibitors and the MG Motor Group attending the event, it’s an opportunity for those who either use, or are responsible for Council operated vehicles to meet with specialists and discuss their future requirements and understand their impact on our environment.
The development of the Fleet Climate Strategy will support the Council’s aims to improve air quality and create a greener environment for residents to live, work, visit and thrive in.
“We are conscious of the impact the vehicles we use to deliver our services has on air quality and the local environment. This event will help us research and better understand the future of vehicle fleets and help us to achieve our goal of being a net zero authority by 2030.Cllr Rebecca Breese, Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Waste
“Our vehicle fleet play a crucial role in helping us to deliver many of our services and we’re keen to take action to ensure we’re doing this in the best way possible, with a focus on reducing emissions and creating environmentally-friendly travel.”
“We use a variety of vehicles, ranging from refuse collection lorries, coaches, mini buses, vans, MPVs and cars, and each one is crucial to our ability to deliver the services our communities need.Cllr Malcolm Longley, Cabinet Member for Finance
“The event is an opportunity for us to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the range of more environmentally-friendly vehicles options available and I would encourage officers, partners, local businesses and residents to attend to find out more.”
