"GREEN" NEWS * UK - M&S gets green credentials trucking Friday
London,UK -The Guardian Unlimited, by Katie Allen -Feb 2, 2007: -- Marks & Spencer has stepped up a gear in the battle to be the greenest retailer by becoming the first chain to order the world's biggest zero-emission delivery lorry... The retailer plans to deploy its first 7.5 tonne battery-powered lorry for food deliveries in London this summer. It hopes to buy more of the £60,000 vehicles as it phases out diesel lorries and seeks to become carbon neutral. The order is the first by a major retailer for Tyne & Wear company Smith Electric Vehicles, a subsidiary of Aim-listed Tanfield Group... While Marks & Spencer's initial order is for just one Newton lorry, the manufacturer hopes more orders will follow as its advantages for urban delivery become clear...
