Information Sheet
Many companies still believe that opting for a greener fleet will cost, rather than save them money. This is no longer the case as a well thought out plan for improving the environmental performance of your fleet should also reduce your fleet costs.

How will it help your business?

As well as saving you money, a greener fleet can help you win new contracts and retain customers, especially from large companies and public sector bodies who want to work with businesses who can show the steps they are taking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Why Fleet Alliance?
  • Fleet Alliance will help ensure that improving your fleet’s environmental performance will also lead to cost savings.
  • Fleet Alliance has already helped clients reduce their CO2 emissions by an average of 13% over the last five years.
  • Coupled with our fuel management solution you can be truly proactive and demonstrate to customers and other stakeholders the progress you are making in reducing your CO2 emissions.
To illustrate the cost benefits of choosing a vehicle with CO2 emissions below 160g/km, we compared two Ford Mondeos. Although the 1.8 Edge model costs £865 more to buy, it could cost £2,500 less to run over 3 years and could save the employee over £1,500 in Benefit in Kind (BIK) taxation.
