York family-run estate agents is contributing to a greener York following the gradual introduction of a growing fleet of electric pool vehicles.

Ashtons has six offices across York, Acomb and Selby with a fleet of pool cars including two hybrid and eight all-electric cars.

The decision to ‘go green’ has been well-received by employees who collectively travel around 60,000 miles each year, mostly within the city, to viewing appointments, valuations, and property instructions.

Hydundai Konas, boasting zero emissions and a range up to 220 miles, are much cleaner and quieter than the previous diesel vehicles.

After just one year, the company has saved 16.2 tonnes of Co2 emissions.

Three electric charging points have been installed at the staff carparks near to the prominent York office on Bootham, as well as home charging for staff that require regular use of the vehicles.

Peter Docwra, Managing Director at Ashtons said: “This is just one of the ways in which Ashtons are becoming more sustainable, as we integrate greener technology into our business model, whilst paving the way to a cleaner and greener York.”
