Grosvenor Leasing has launched a new service to advise, help and support companies through the transition of becoming a zero or low emission fleet.

Shaun Barritt, Grosvenor Group CEO.

Dubbed 0Zone and aimed at fleets of all sizes, the scheme can help clients develop a low emission vehicle policy and advise on the steps required to adopt electric and ultra-low emission vehicles, including, subject to availability, assistance with plug-in and hybrid demonstration vehicles.

“The shift towards EVs and ULEVs is not something that is going to go away,” said Shaun Barritt, Grosvenor Group CEO. “At some point all companies operating vehicle fleets will make the transition to a new era of fuel technology and our advice is to be pro-active and start planning now.

“Most company drivers have spent their entire working lives driving traditional petrol or diesel vehicles and a key factor in making a smooth transition is to communicate with them and get their buy-in.

“It’s also vital to understand the current opportunities, and limitations, these vehicles offer so that timely decisions can be made, and begin to budget around the financial implications and forecast what the fleet operation will look like in years to come.”
