The British Bobsleigh & Skeleton Associationis the main sports governing body for bobsleigh and skeleton in the UK with a proud record of success, winning over 80 medals in the Olympics, World Championships,European Championships, and World Cup.
Bobsleigh and skeleton are both winter sports in which a person (lying face down on a sled) or small team of up to 4 (sitting in a bobsleigh) slide at high speeds down an icy track, competing to achieve the fastest time.

Both sports are iconic in the Winter Olympics, however, climate change is creating warmer-than-ideal conditions that could impact the future of bobsleigh, skeleton, and the BBSA athletes.
Allen Ford has provided the BBSA with several mild hybrid Transit Custom vans that have been specially signwritten to enhance their road presence.
The vans are equipped with Ford’s EcoBlue Hybrid engine for improved fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, helping to reduce the team’s carbon footprint and fuel expenses on long distance journeys. If we all made the switch to hybrid electric vehicles, we can slow climate change & make our planet a better place to live.Learn more about hybrid & electric vehicles here.
