People are always finding inventive and exciting ways to make our planet a little cleaner. Whether it’s using LED light bulbs or using less water, every little bit makes a difference. Recently, the Channel Island Jersey post office in the United Kingdom has been playing their part by switching to an all-electric fleet of Nissan eNV200 vans, and are reducing carbon emissions by almost 35 tonnes per year.

 

Channel Island is a small but thriving group of islands off the southern coast of the UK, of which the island of Jersey is the largest. This localized area is the ideal place for any electric car to make an impactful difference. Electric cars operate best over many shorter drives rather than a single long distance, and with the Nissan Leaf leading the industry in mileage per charge, this fleet of vans based on the Leaf’s design are perfect for replacing the average diesel post-office truck. The 100-mile range is easily enough to power these cars through a day of delivering mail on such an island.

 

These vans have other upsides along with emitting no carbon. Electric vans are much more economical than diesel vans, featuring a great warranty and as well as more robust engine. Electric engines are more reliable and break less than regular engines, meaning less maintenance that could disrupt important mail service to businesses and people. The Director of Operations of the post office Andy Jehan summarized, “the vans are…ideal for the short distance, stop/start driving that the job involves.”
