Days Fleet has gained ‘Go Ultra Low Company’ status in recognition of its use of plug-in cars within its company fleet and its commitment to boost uptake of plug-in vehicles over the coming years.

8% of the internal fleet are classed as ultra low emission vehicles – exceeding the requirement for companies to have a commitment for 5%.

A total of 8% of the leasing and fleet management firm’s internal fleet are classed as ultra low emission vehicles – already exceeding the requirement for companies to have a commitment for 5% or more of its vehicle fleet to be electric or plug-in vehicles and already be running a number of EVs in order to join the scheme.

Poppy Welch, head of Go Ultra Low, said: “We want to encourage every business in the UK to follow the example set by Days Fleet to offer employees the chance to drive or own an electric vehicle. Not only does it demonstrate a commitment to a cleaner automotive future, but there are multiple short and long-term financial benefits for companies and their employees to enjoy.”

More than 100 fleets are already signed up to the Go Ultra Low Company scheme.
