A fleet of eight diesel Smart cars is destined to prove ‘the business’ for Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, which has just taken delivery of one of the UK’s first corporate orders for the new Smart fortwo cdi model.
The cars will be used by the Sheffield Chamber’s Business Development Executives to visit the 2,700 member companies in the city and across South Yorkshire who call upon its advice, support and representation.
Smart of Sheffield supplied the coupé models after winning a competitive tender, which attracted bids from 20 local motor retailers - all Chamber members. The vehicles will be run on two-year leases and will replace the previous fleet of Toyota Yaris.
The Smart fortwo cdi’s economical and environmental performance was a key factor in the Chamber’s purchasing decision. As the world’s most efficient production car, the model returns 85.6 mpg on the combined cycle with carbon dioxide emissions of 88 g/km.
Stephen Mitchell, Sheffield Chamber corporate partnerships director said: ‘It was a priority that the cars we chose displayed outstanding environmental credentials but were cheap to run.’
