A BUSINESS park is hoping it can save hundreds of tonnes of CO2 a year with the introduction of an all electric security van.
Guards at Kingmoor Park, Baron Way, Carlisle, will travel almost 40,000 miles annually to patrol the site in the vehicle, which is fuelled by the onsite solar farm.
The management team say they are committed to making changes towards a sustainable future with their long-term goal being to use only renewable energy sources.
Last year the four acre solar farm was completed which saw the park reduce its need for non-renewable sources of energy.
And future plans include even more onsite power generation, in the form of electric vehicle charging points.
