ROYAL Mail Group is electrifying its fleet, partnering with Novuna Vehicle Solutions to offer over 120,000 employees access to electric vehicles (EVs). This landmark deal, one of the largest company car salary sacrifice schemes in the UK, aligns with Royal Mail’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2040.
Royal Mail says partnering with Novuna Vehicle Solutions, known for its expertise in managing large company car fleets – such as Amey and DEFRA – was a natural choice for Royal Mail. The partnership will provide Royal Mail employees with a wide range of new and used EVs through a flexible salary sacrifice scheme, making low-emission vehicles more accessible and affordable.
Empowering Employees with EV Expertise
Royal Mail employees will receive comprehensive support in transitioning to electric, including a bespoke EV Hub, an innovative ordering portal, and even home charger installation options. Bespoke insurance from Howden Insurance UK is also part of the package.
Used EVs: A Cost-Effective Pathway to Sustainability
The partnership will leverage used vehicles, offering a cost-effective way for employees to embrace electric mobility. This aligns with Novuna Vehicle Solutions’ commitment to end-to-end decarbonisation leasing options.
Jon Lawes, Managing Director at Novuna Vehicle Solutions, commented:
“This appointment validates our ability to deliver large-scale salary sacrifice solutions. We’re dedicated to providing innovative options that help organisations like Royal Mail achieve their sustainability goals while empowering their workforce.”
“As the transition to sustainable transport accelerates, accessible options for employees are crucial. This programme demonstrates our shared vision for low-emission mobility, and we’re excited to collaborate with Royal Mail to enhance EV accessibility for all their employees.”
The salary sacrifice partnership with Royal Mail is another significant win for Novuna Vehicle Solutions. It follows recent deals with Wickes, Saint-Gobain UK, and Quooker.
