Is it time for your company to switch to an electric van? We know in many ways that it’s fundamentally a much bigger leap than moving to an electric car.
But perhaps with the Government’s recent announcement of an extension to the Plug-in Van Grant – from end March 2025 for a further 12 months – fleets should give it greater consideration.
The Government says it wants to extend support to help drivers, businesses, and fleets make the switch to cleaner vehicles. It is part of a wider £120m investment in decarbonising transport.
Those vans that have CO2 emissions below 50g/km and can travel at least 60 miles without producing any tailpipe emissions.
Fleet Alliance is dedicated to providing sustainable mobility solutions. Call us on 0345 601 8407 to discuss your requirements. Or for further information on going electric go to our EV Hub.

You might recall that little paper disc you placed in the corner of your car’s windscreen every six or 12 months. No need now, of course, as Vehicle Excise Duty – or the tax disc as we all knew it – is digital. But just because it’s gone physically we should not forget about it, … Continued
I have loved looking at the Parisian catwalk of cars for the past week or two, eyeing up all the best new cars on show for fleet at the Paris Salon. If only I was able to spend the whole two weeks enjoying the odd baguette, fromage and glass of red wine too! (well, when … Continued
As our Commercial Director, David Blackmore revealed in a previous blog from the NEC CV Show earlier this year, not all of our fleet work revolves around cars at Fleet Alliance – a significant part of our business is in commercial vehicles too.

Not so long ago, the only company car worth considering was a diesel: low on CO2 emissions, efficient on company car tax, and went for miles on a tank of fuel. A no-brainer. A bit like: what am I going to do on Friday night? You know the answer… But that’s not really the case … Continued
The new school year is nearly upon us and has a) already started b) is in full swing c) about to start depending where you are in the UK. In other words, that summer feeling has to be packed back up in the suitcase and the autumn faced. And the kids are back to school. … Continued
Should you be worried? Should we be worried? Here’s why: potentially salary sacrifice cars could be under threat following a review by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
