The agreement follows last year’s announcement that FleetLine’s parent company, LeasePlan, had entered into a Europe-wide agreement with Vauxhall to purchase over 650 Amperas this year. FleetLine will initially make 20 Amperas available to customers.

Commenting on the announcement, Simon Carr, Brand director at FleetLine said: 'We are delighted to be able to offer our customers the Ampera. The Ampera has a significant range of more than three hundred miles, making it more of an attractive, everyday fleet car.

'The Vauxhall Ampera is another example of FleetLine’s strategy of promoting environmentally-friendly vehicles to our customers,' he concluded.

Richard Roberts, contract hire and leasing manager at Vauxhall said: 'The inclusion of the Ampera as part of the range of vehicles offered by FleetLine is a further endorsement of the vehicle and its technology.'
