Xograph, a leading independent medical imaging equipment supplier, has introduced an EV/PHEV choice list into its fleet with the help of JCT600 Vehicle Leasing Solutions (VLS).

Xograph’s choice list now offers fully electric and PHEV vehicles in various sizes, range, cost and different brands, and has already seen 32 orders placed so far

The business, which is part of the Healthcare 21 Group, was looking to enhance benefits to drivers, reduce its carbon footprint and drive colleague engagement.

Following a competitive tender, it worked with JCT600 VLS to shortlist potential electric and plug-in options for its fleet, based on analysis, industry updates, data on each vehicle and the true costs associated with each option.

JCT600 VLS provided an objective overview of ICE versus hybrid and electric vehicles along with the pros and cons of each, as well as considerations that needed to be made from both an employer and employee perspective.

Lindsay Francis, customer service director at JCT600 VLS, said: “We wanted to ensure that any vehicle on the predetermined choice list was a great offering and benefit to the companies and their drivers. In addition to the potential options, we provided information on government grants, vehicle charging, taxation, and shared experiences of other customers who had already adopted an EV/PHEV choice list.”

The choice list now offers vehicles in various sizes, range, cost and different brands, and has already seen 32 orders placed so far.

Not only has the choice list been made available to Xograph’s own drivers but it’s also been extended to the parent company – driving substantial Benefit-in-Kind savings for employees there.

Alongside vehicle funding, JCT600 VLS also provides Xograph and Healthcare 21 with complete fleet management solutions.

Stacey Wheeler, office manager and executive assistant at Healthcare 21, said: “JCT600 VLS continually support our drivers and fleet management daily with the upmost level of customer service, response times are quick and they go above and beyond to help in any way they can. I love working with them and I know our drivers won’t be disappointed as deliveries start to happen!”
