We are constantly modernizing the company’s vehicle fleet, preferring models
with the lowest levels of CO2 emissions.
- In France, efforts to renew the fleet were accelerated over 2006, with the
integration
of 7,000 vehicles, of which more than a half run with an emission rate of less
than or equal to 130 g CO2/km. This represents a reduction in CO2 emissions by
some 3,000 tons.
- Hybrid vehicles are also being tested in various countries.
In 2006, our purchasing division launched a review with a number of leading automobile
manufacturers to reference clean vehicles (notably electric) in the Group’s catalog.
In 2006, we also launched a study into the use of biodiesel and bioethanol with
other companies.
