Here at Maurice Ward Group it is our responsibility to make efforts to help preserve the environment, this goes beyond the numbers on the balance sheet. This is why long ago we made the decision to start the process of switching over to electric vehicles.
The Nissan Leaf is a fully electric vehicle which means no harmful emissions will be released into the atmosphere. Even though it has seen competition in the recent years, with its advanced safety technologies, streamlined construction and instant power, this electric car remains one of the best in the world.
With currently 26 electric Nissan Leaf cars in our corporate fleet and multiple fast charging stations, at Maurice Ward Group, we will keep making changes we should be making to protect the environment.
Electric vehicles are a crucial part of Maurice Ward Group’s attempts to drastically reduce transport’s emissions. Hence for the future, we are planning on buying more electric cars accompanied with extra charging stations.

The first ever ‘cargo only’ flight was recorded in November 1910 in the USA, using a Wright Model B aeroplane that flew 65 miles carrying a package of silk. The business owner used the pioneering transport more as a PR stunt to celebrate the opening of his store, with the bundle of silk cut into individual pieces and glued onto souvenir postcards.
At Maurice Ward Group, we believe that reliable road transport requires continuous investment. By regularly modernising our European road fleet, we can maintain the performance our customers depend on while supporting more sustainable road transport.
