The project is part of the aim to reduce North Yorkshire-based Drax’s carbon footprint from non-power generating activities.

The trial will also enable employees to test out the commuting capabilities of the electric car, as a week’s use of the car will be awarded to top-performing employees.

A Peugeot iOn delivered from Goole-based Glews is the first fully electric vehicle the car dealership has supplied to any company in the area.

Glews has provided vehicles to Drax for over 20 years.

Dealership director Graham Andrews reported a lot of interest from other businesses who are keen to find out more the cars.
