BMW has provided an all electric, zero emissions MINI E for the Government car pool.
The vehicle was officially handed over to the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers at an event at Number 10 today.
It follows a handover of 40 identical MINI E’s to members of the public, who will trial the cars for one year.

The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, said:
“The low carbon transport industry will not only cut harmful emissions but has the potential to be a major source of jobs and growth. We have already committed £400 million of support to the sector, encouraging its development and take-up, and I am confident that in future years we will see thousands more electric and other low carbon cars on Britain’s roads.”
