ATLANTA (JUNE 1, 2017) - Manheim Orlando, a 268-acre wholesale vehicle remarketing company located at 11801 W. Colonial Drive, will save 951 tons of carbon per year as a result of installing indoor and outdoor LED lighting at its facility – the equivalent of more than two million miles driven by the average passenger vehicle. The installation which replaces 7,452 bulbs and 1,311 fixtures, will require less maintenance and will save $133,000 in annual energy costs.
Manheim Orlando and its 350 team members also recycle an average of 262 tons of waste each year.
“Upgrading to LED has greatly improved the quality of our lighting in and around each of our 19 buildings, not only saving energy but increasing safety for our team members and clients,” said Butch Herdegen, General Manager of Manheim Orlando.
Funded by Cox Conserves, this LED project supports Cox Automotive’s sustainability goal to be carbon neutral by 2044. To achieve this goal, Cox proactively identifies opportunities to leverage alternative energy, conserve energy and modify fleet operations across its 127 traditional and mobile auction sites nationwide.
Manheim Orlando hosts more than 3,500 independent and franchised dealers to four weekly sales in their 25 auction lanes. Registering an average of 6,500 vehicles per week, Manheim Orlando offers an onsite photo booth, reconditioning, inspections, post sale inspections, dent wizard and a mechanic shop.
