There is no getting away from the fact that the environment is now a critical factor shaping business travel.  If we were in any doubt as to whether or not we would get ‘ethically on board’, then we now see compelling financial reasons why we must put the environmental impact of cars high on the fleet agenda.

New corporation tax rules now dictate that greener cars get written down more quickly and are more tax efficient for the owner.  The same tax regime dictates that greener cars no longer suffer a partial block on ‘rental allowances’, making them more tax efficient to lease.

Personal Taxation, and the subsequent Employers National Insurance contributions are directly linked to the CO2 emissions of the car, meaning that here are often hidden costs of providing less efficient cars.

The flip side to this is that there are a host of savings opportunities to be derived from reviewing your fleet from an environmental perspective.  Subtle policy changes can not only help you avoid unforeseen costs, they can also deliver handsome rewards.

Fleetworx takes the environmental issues that face us very seriously, but also we are firm believers that ‘C-change’ is not always practica, l and that a planned approach is what is required to achieve your end goals. Thus we offer a pragmatic approach to this issue, with realistic deliverables set within a longer term strategic goal, because, nine times out of ten, that is what works for our clients!
