Leopard cares for our environment

Leopard demonstrates its commitment to the environment through action.

We were the first bus company in New Zealand to run our entire fleet on bio-fuel during a 12-month trial, which ended in May 2008. We did it because we care about the environment and want to help make a difference.

Bio-fuel Update

Leopard Coachlines is now using Bio-Diesel in all of its fleet effective Mid February 2010. We realise the environmental benefits of bio-fuels in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, engine noise and pollution. You'll have a quieter ride and at the same time you'll have reduced the carbon footprint of your journey. Leopard cares about our environment and continues to act to make a difference.

The bio-diesel for the Leopard fleet is manufactured by Bio Diesel NZ, a renewable fuel  made from used cooking oil and oilseed rape. It is blended with standard diesel to form the B5 mix which is called 'Bio-Gold'.

Bike Racks and Water Recycling

We are also trialling bike racks on 7 of our Christchurch city buse routes and 25 urban buses which are proving popular with local cyclists.

Other eco-friendly measures include the use of a water-recycling bus wash at our Christchurch depot and we are always looking for new ways to help protect the environment.
