BGEN, one of the UK’s largest engineering firms, has introduced an electric car salary sacrifice scheme from Vehicle Consulting to slash its carbon emissions.

Vehicle Consulting has tailored a solution to prioritise a mix of vehicle types that fit within BGEN’s value parameters

It will also enable employees to be at the forefront of action to tackle climate, while aligning with BGEN’s commitment to sustainability. The business has an ambitious roadmap to reduce CO2 emissions by 25% by 2025 and achieve net zero carbon by 2035.

As part of its ambitious ESG plan, BGEN identified a strategic need to curtail its scope 3 emissions – and the new scheme is a clear reflection of this commitment.

The scheme, which is set for an initial duration of three years, has been implemented by Vehicle Consulting, in collaboration with its franchisee Vehicle Consulting Solent, led by Paul and Nancy Thorley.

The tailored solution offers a mix of vehicle types that fit within BGEN’s value parameters, while giving employees access to a wide range of sustainable transportation options.

Vehicle Consulting Solent has also equipped BGEN with an integrated fleet management platform to seamlessly track mileage allowances, check driver licence validity, and maintain vehicles efficiently, reducing overheads and ensuring compliance.

Vehicle Consulting Solent’s Paul Thorley said: “Securing the trust and partnership from a company with the stature of BGEN is a testament to our capability, dedication, and professionalism. We’re not just facilitating access to electric vehicles; we’re helping businesses drive tangible change in their environmental footprint whilst enhancing employee satisfaction.”
