Travel by Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of a Travel Plan is to try and encourage people to use alternative forms of transport to the private car. We do, however, understand it is not always practical to make journeys by bike, public transport or on foot and so other options to make car journeys greener and more economical are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric Vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Switching your car for an EV or hybrid is a good way to reduce your emissions if you cannot do without a car. While the price of an EV may be similar to most comparable petrol or diesel cars, the cost of running one is significantly cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pure electric cars have zero tailpipe emissions, making them greener, cleaner and better for the environment than any petrol or diesel car currently on the road. When driven in electric mode, plug-in hybrids emit zero tailpipe emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to drive in the most environmentally friendly way possible, make sure to keep your plug-in hybrid charged up so that you can carry out the majority of driving in electric mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
