ICONIC motorbike manufacturer Norton Motorcycles is offering staff the chance to move to a set of four electric wheels thanks to a salary sacrifice programme put in place by EV specialist broker DriveElectric.
Norton has a rich history. Founded in 1898, Norton has won eight World Championships and 94 TTs, and the company is currently developing an electric motorbike as part of an expansion programme which includes the appointment of Richard Arnold, former CEO of Manchester United.
And offering employees the benefit of an electric vehicle via salary sacrifice with savings of up to 40% is the next step in the company’s laurelled history.
“As a member of the leadership team at Norton, I feel that I’m playing my part in developing our people and this iconic brand. Motorcycles already represent a sustainable way of getting around but giving our ‘Nortoneers’ the option to take an electric car via salary sacrifice amplifies our collective contribution to a decreased carbon footprint and is a lovely additional perk we’re offering to our enthusiastic team.”

Norton Motorcycles is offering DriveElectric’s ‘Complete’ salary sacrifice solution, which includes insurance and early termination protection. A Pod Point 7kW Solo 3 home charger with an exclusive EV tariff can also be included in the package if required. Staff can access vehicles through the DriveElectric EV Hub.
Salary sacrifice customers can also benefit from DriveElectric Plus, a smart charging solution which, says DriveElectric, can reduce EV charging emissions by up to 89%.
Mike Potter, Managing Director of DriveElectric, added:
“I’m delighted that Norton Motorcycles has joined an ever-growing list of organisations that are benefiting from salary sacrifice. Employees can save thousands of pounds per year on new or used EVs, with zero tailpipe emissions minimising impacts on climate change and local air quality. Norton’s employees receive support throughout the journey from our EV experts, ensuring that knowledgeable answers are provided to any questions about electric cars and charging.”
