Rental firm Europcar Mobility Group UK has renewed its employee company car supply and management contract with CBVC Vehicle Management.
The new deal, which is a three-year extension of the agreement, is said to follow a successful initial carbon reduction programme, which saw the average CO2 emission figure per company car reduced from 129g/km to 29g/km, with nearly 80% of the fleet now made up of EVs.
Europcar commercial director and sustainability spokesperson Mark Newberry said: “We are working with a wide diversity of businesses that are getting to grips with reducing emissions on their own fleets. It is, therefore, essential that we can show we understand the barriers they may face when aiming to win the hearts and minds of their drivers.
“By working with CBVC we have been able to deliver a streamlined solution that makes it easy for employees to make the switch.
“We have also learnt about some of the things that drivers worry about before they make the switch – and the reality once they get behind the wheel of their electric company car.”
CBVC account manager Julie Hayes said: “It has been a pleasure working with Europcar. Our innovative automated selection process rewards drivers for picking lower CO2 cars. And with recent increases in prices, we have demonstrated the value of a multi-bid approach to funding.”
