Gatwick goes electric too - Nissan LEAF checks in

With Heathrow's recent announcement of the installation of electric car charging points ’s Gatwick Airport has confirmed that it too can supply power for the new range of high technology vehicles.  They have actually gone one better and allowed CEO Stewart Wingate to drive such a vehicle in the North terminal building, the delightful Nissan LEAF (Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car).

Mr Wingate said: “Opting to partner with Nissan LEAF to promote and support the use of electric vehicles was an obvious choice for us as the brand’s goals fit with our own values and aspirations at Gatwick.  

“We are driving a programme to incentivise the use of cleaner vehicles across the airport community and have set ourselves an ambitious target to push our own use of low emission vehicles to 20% by 2015." www.gatwickairport.com
