Ford has secured an 80 car fleet deal with National Grid.

The Fiesta Edge Econetic models have been supplied through Ford dealer GK Group of Chesterfield, and National Grid’s fleet management company Inchcape.

National Grid put its fleet requirement out to competitive tender, citing value for money, low fuel consumption and emissions among its key criteria.

“Our ‘user-chooser’ company car scheme was not appropriate for such a large number of new, young engineers,” said fleet operations manager David Morse, “Ford was successful in the tender process and the Fiesta Econetic fitted the bill perfectly.”
