Capital Arrive 'N' Drive 08

Capital Fuel Challenge, 31st July, Horse Guards Parade, LondonSponsored by Transport for London, the Capital Arrive 'N" Drive will once again provide a display of the latest innovations to reduce emissions and improve air quality in the capital. This year, the event will take place at Horse Guards Parade on Thursday 31st July.

Capital Fuel Challenge
The Capital Fuel Challenge will be set off from Horse Guards Parade and assigns a freight task to each vehicle entered in order to measure fuel efficiency. Divided into Public & Private Sectors, emphasis will fall on which fuels are the most environmentally friendly, and offer the greatest economy.

Private Sector Fleets, Local Authorities and Central Government departments will all be taking part. The Drive will be a minimum of 24 miles through the streets of London. Participants will have to plan the most efficient route to four check points spread throughout the capital.

Visitors to the event will be able to watch the fleet’s progress on the big screen, thanks to innovative route tracking technology from TrakM8.

The most efficient fleets make it through to the GreenFleet Awards finals at Twickenham, where they will take part in the 'G-Factor'. Each organisation will present the reasons why they should win the prestigious TfL Capital Fleet of the Year Awards to an expert panel. The panel will then score each presentation, and the audience will get a chance to vote for which entry they think should win.

Also taking place will be the Capital EcoDriver category sponsored by Green Motion. These vehicles will be driven by professional drivers with varying degrees of skill, and will highlight the importance of driving style and its effects on fuel economy and emissions.
