A CINDERFORD firm is working with British Gas and its partners to supply the energy company's vehicles.

Used-vehicle parts My Green Fleet, a subsidiary of FAB Recycling, is helping British Gas reduce its carbon impact by removing damaged parts from vehicles which might otherwise end up on the scrapheap early and recycling them back into the fleet's supply chain when required.

The firm is working directly with British Gas repair partner Hitachi Capital, which is responsible for the management of its vehicles from purchase, through to servicing, maintenance and disposal.    

My Green Fleet collects damaged British Gas vehicles from around the country, creates an inventory per vehicle at its Gloucestershire base, and provides fast delivery of parts back to Hitachi Capital on a daily basis.

Managing director of FAB Recycling Ltd, Jason Cross said: "High-quality pre-owned parts can greatly reduce the environmental impact of national fleets. As the only carbon neutral vehicle dismantler in the UK, we are extremely proud to support British Gas in achieving its goals."

General manager for fleet at British Gas, Colin Marriott added: "My Green Fleet is supporting our fleet in a way that is financially sound and environmentally friendly. It has helped to reduce our repair costs and vehicle operational downtime."
