The choice of your next company car could prove a costly one as the government attempts
to reach green targets.
Company car drivers need to gather as much information as possible so that they
can make a decision which takes into account not only the environmental impact of
the vehicle but also the cost to the driver as environmental legislation intensifies.
Recent policies and proposals that set out to target high emission vehicles include
the increase in the number of vehicle excise duty bands and the plans for new congestion
charges in London that target 4x4 vehicles.
Fleet drivers need to adopt an approach that enables them to consider their choices
before making a final decision.
In a recent poll of top fleet managers carried out by GE Commercial Finance 'Fleet
Services' environmental issues were listed as one of the top three along with duty
of care and fuel prices.
