“Customers such as Weetabix, Tata Steel, Glenmorangie Whisky
and many others have a clear roadmap to convert their fleet to zero emission and our 0Zone team has never been busier, advising companies on their ULEV and EV policies.” Having won the GreenFleet award in December 2020 for Best
Leasing Company, the Kettering-based Grosvenor Group has been leading the way in driving down emissions for their customers for many years. Its 0Zone solution, which helps companies make the smooth
transition to ultra-low emission and electric vehicles was ahead of its time when launched in 2017. Since then, 0Zone has grown into an intrinsic part of Grosvenor’s proposition and is made up of three key areas; environmental, fi nancial and operational. “We adopt a very practical, straightforward and transparent
approach so that companies with cars and light commercial vehicles are very clear about how we are going to move them towards a zero- emission future and what potential hurdles they face along the way,” continued Lee. “As part of the environmental aspect of our support, we look at
how to drive down CO2 levels as part of a zero-emission goal. T en operationally we look at how ULEVs and EVs fi t into their current operational requirements and business needs, and as part of a fi nancial analysis we consider the cost implications of moving to alternative fuels, including whole life costs, taxation, NI and other key considerations. “Companies looking to go green also benefi t from an assessment of
ALL THINGS BUSINESS
their environmental impact and because our role is to encourage drivers into alternative fuels, we also off er some innovative thinking as well as practical advice. “A good example is our ultra-low emission
transition scheme. T is enables drivers to try out alternative fuel vehicles on short-term contracts so that they can grow accustomed to new technology, overcoming the hesitancy of change. “Salary sacrifice is also a very good option.
T is is fi nancially attractive to both employer and employee for any cars under 50g/km CO2, which is why uptake has been growing. “We can also off er workshops with drivers to
answer all of their questions on electric vehicles, which goes a long way to facilitating the transition. “Between now and 2030, every time a driver
chooses a traditional petrol or diesel engine it commits their employer to that car for another three to four years, which is why it’s important to off er a range of measures and support to expedite the process.”
