When the Government announced it was bringing forward its ban on the sale of new cars and vans powered wholly by petrol and diesel, it came as no great surprise. Having been muted in the press for some time,
the November statement simply confi rmed that we must now all start planning for electric vehicles on our fl eets. Yes, there is a slight reprieve in that some
hybrids will still be allowed beyond that date. But the reality is that during the next nine years it’s
going to become increasingly expensive to drive combustion engine vehicles, more restrictive as clean air zones come into play, and companies not committing to the green agenda could fi nd themselves being penalised in tenders. It’s for this reason that 2030 should be viewed as a fi nal cut off rather than a target date. So, how are businesses responding? According to Lee Brown who heads up the
Grosvenor Group’s award-winning 0Zone solution, the answer is ‘very well’. “T ere may be talk about range anxiety, worries
about charging infrastructure and the suitability of electric vehicles,” said Lee, “yet almost 50% of all new vehicles we’re delivering to Grosvenor Leasing and Interactive Fleet management customers are now either fully electric or ultra-low emission.
