Here at the JCB VW Vans we care about our customers, and we believe that you will find it important that we care about the environment too.

We want to reassure our customers of our commitment to the environment and to a sustainable future. We’ve looked at our buildings, our policies and procedures and most proudly of all, our products, to deliver a service that takes environmental issues into account. That will mean a cleaner, greener future for all of us. Here are some of the things we’re doing or working towards:

Building Refurbishments

We are launching into major rebuilding work to transform our showrooms and create a better customer experience.

In order to improve our energy efficiency we are:


  • Installing intelligent heating and cooling systems for our showrooms, offices and workshops to make best use of energy throughout the day and night.
  • Upgrading our timer systems to halve our heated water loss and better control lighting systems both inside and outdoors. When natural lighting is sufficient, artificial light will be dimmed or switched off.
  • Replacing the type of lighting bulb we use with energy bulbs with a life expectancy of 15 years that give the same results but at considerably lower wattage.
  • Replacing our boiler systems with modern condenser systems.

​Business Practices and Procedures

Although you’re probably not aware of them, behind the scenes we have an extensive suite of offices – we’re already green there too:

  • Waste Management – we sort all our office paper and cardboard waste and recycle it.
  • Sustainable procurement – we want to be sure that the companies and agencies that help us provide our service to you comply with our environmental business values. That’s why we will only source goods and services from environmentally reputable suppliers.

​Workshop Practices

Our workshops are the hub of our business, they all conform to environmental waste regulations.

  • We recycle all waste oils. In fact we are looking at systems that heat our businesses using waste oil.
  • We responsibly dispose of oil filters, fuel filters, brake fluid, antifreeze and batteries through a waste management agency.
  • We recycle all scrap metal.
  • We operate an exchange parts scheme with our manufacturer to refurbish parts, and all our packaging on parts is sent back to the manufacturer for recycling.

Proud of our Product

All of our brands have been developing more fuel efficient, lower emission vehicles and phasing out diesel options.  All brands are introducing hybrid and all-electric models to gradually switch to cleaner, zero-emission motoring in the coming years.  Even the interiors are being furnished with more sustainable materials - for example, upholstery made from recycled plastic bottles.


Intelligent Driving Technology 

We can fit Traffic Master systems to our vans, which monitor driving styles, aid navigation, advise on congestion avoidance, provide fleet tracking and reporting. All of which increases efficiency, helps reduce time spent on the road and therefore unnecessary mileage.

Customer Contact

We are looking at greener ways to communicate with you, our customers:

  • As part of our paper reduction policy we are aiming to use e-mail communication and SMS text messaging as our principal methods of communication alongside the telephone. We already offer SMS text remindersfor workshop bookings. We are using e-mail communication for service reminders, offers and new vehicle launches and offer Live Chat on line.
  • Our website enables us to advertise our products and services, on-line, 24/7 and to enable you to contact us more easily

Future friendly

Group Director, Jonathan Bischoff says “ We’re leading the campaign within the motor industry to reduce our carbon footprint and work towards a sustainable future.

We’re working closely with the manufacturer and business agencies to do our best to be future friendly. We hope this delivers an excellent customer experience”.
