Virgin Media O2 now has more than 70 electric vans as it strives to electrify its entire fleet.
It’s now been a year since Virgin Media O2 unveiled its new sustainability strategy, and to celebrate the milestone, the company has released new figures to show its progress as it strives toward net zero carbon emissions.
Through its Better Connections Plan, the company managed to cut carbon emissions by almost a third (29%) — since 2020 and believes it’s still on track to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040.
Through IoT applications such as smart metering, Virgin Media O2 helped make households and offices more sustainable, preventing more than 29 million tonnes of carbon from entering Earth’s atmosphere in the last 12 months, and with more than 70 electric vans now as part of the company’s fleet, the plan for a fully electrified fleet by 2030 seems to be at arm’s reach.
