With the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to be phased out from 2030, your business needs to consider fleet electrification.

While it’s a significant undertaking, it’s highly worthwhile for your business from an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and cost-saving perspective.

ESG benefits

From an ESG point of view, the transition to zero carbon tailpipe emissions is increasingly important in a competitive business environment.

  • Environmental Responsibility and Regulatory Compliance: Shifting to electric helps align your business with the UK’s 2050 Net Zero commitment and comply with tightening regulations on emissions and clean air zones.
  • Social Expectations and Public Trust: Consumers and stakeholders are increasingly environmentally conscious. Being proactive about sustainability can enhance brand reputation and customer loyalty and attract talent who value ethical practices.
  • Governance and Risk Management: Integrating zero-emission strategies into your corporate governance strengthens long-term risk management by reducing exposure to future carbon-related taxation, regulatory shifts, and potential supply chain disruption as petrol and diesel supply dwindles.

Cost saving benefits

From a driver’s perspective, the significantly reduced benefit-in-kind tax payable on an electric vehicle (EV) is a significant saving when inflationary forces place such pressure on incomes. EVs also represent an attractive proposition for drivers looking for the latest, cutting-edge technology while empowering them to decarbonise their personal emissions footprint.

For the business, too, there are operational savings despite the higher lease rental costs of EVs compared with standard internal combustion engined cars. Stepping away from the headline rental rates of EVs, it’s crucial to gain the overall picture provided by the whole-life cost savings of EVs during the car’s operational life cycle compared with more costly diesel or petrol cars.

So, there are solid and compelling reasons to begin the electrification process.

But where do you start on the electrification programme? Is it as simple as swapping the fuel pump for the electric charger? Or changing the fleet car choice from diesel to the electric equivalent?

As you can imagine, it’s a little more complex than that. But that’s where we can help simplify the process through our exciting new partnership with our total EV fleet solution: Fleet Zero.
