LOGISTICS and property company Innovate has chosen the Toyota Prius as the preferred choice of vehicle for its management team.

Joint managing director Stephen Savage said it was a chance to lead by example.

He added: ‘To succeed in business use, a car has to have an excellent Bluetooth communications system, good satellite navigation, have useable, decent performance and above all be comfortable. The Prius scores on every count.’

Innovate claims it is one of the United Kingdom’s most environmentally-friendly companies and has been recognised with an award for the UK’s greenest office building for its development at Thorpe Park in Leeds.
