Environmental Award For
Ransomes Jacobsen
Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd, one of the leading
manufacturers of golf and general utility vehicles powered by
alternative fuels, has won an industry award from Environment & Sustainable
Transport (EAST), sponsored by Lloyds TSB Autolease. Managing
director, Dr Stephen Chicken, received the Industry Market Leadership
award at a gala dinner held at the London Transport Museum in
Covent Garden.
The Industry Market Leadership award was won
jointly with Honda, and Ransomes Jacobsen was also runner up
in two further
categories – the
Industry Innovative Design category for its lpg Parkway municipal
triple mower, and the Distribution & Service Fleet Operator
category for its Cushman Diabline electric vehicle.
The Parkway
LPG is the first commercial ride on mower powered by lp gas to
be specifically designed for the municipal sector.
It was developed at Ransomes Jacobsen’s Ipswich manufacturing
plant in conjunction with Ford.
Dr Chicken said: “This is
a tremendous and remarkable accolade for the company and clearly
demonstrates our commitment to Driving
Environmental Performance, the business initiative that we have
adopted over the past three years. The award emphasises that
we are serious about our environmental product offering, and
to have won it jointly with a motoring industry giant like Honda
is a fantastic achievement.
"Ransomes Jacobsen is truly committed
to the environmental agenda. We are the only company in the turf
care sector to be awarded
ISO14001, the international standard for environmental management.
This demonstrates our environmental principles from manufacture
right through to delivery of service, dovetailing with increasing
client environmental objectives and obligations.
"As you would expect from a company that’s
been around for almost three centuries, we continue to be innovators
in the sectors
in which we operate. Everyone in the business is committed to
producing the right equipment to ensure that we meet our customers’ diverse
needs, particularly in relation to environmental matters."
