FLEET Alliance and ScottishPower have unveiled an end-to-end electric vehicle (EV) solution for businesses called Fleet Zero.
Fleet Zero says it aims to support businesses transitioning to sustainable fleets by matching EVs to the right charging solutions.
Under the new partnership, Fleet Alliance, the Glasgow-based leasing broker and fleet management specialist, will supply the appropriate vehicles. Meanwhile ScottishPower, the first integrated energy company in the UK to produce 100% green electricity, will provide matching charging solutions.
Fleet Alliance CEO, Andy Bruce, said he was ‘very excited’ by prospects for the new partnership with ScottishPower.
Fleet Zero is a great solution all round for fleets. Our new partnership with ScottishPower provides the perfect opportunity to advance sustainable practices by matching the right EVs with the right EV charging solutions, whether it's home chargers for company car drivers, the provision of workplace chargers, or depot chargers for commercial vehicle fleets with a return-to-base operation.
Fleet Alliance said it was firmly committed to the decarbonisation of its customer fleets. In 2022, 66% of Fleet Alliance’s new car orders were Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs); a third of these were pure electric vehicles. The Glasgow broker added that part of this upswing was due to the growing popularity of its electric car salary sacrifice scheme.
Andy added that EVs were up 50% year-on-year as employers looked to offer staff the benefit of electric vehicles as part of a growing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda to positively lower carbon footprints.
Commenting on the new Fleet Zero partnership, ScottishPower Retail CEO, Andrew Ward, added:
To reach net zero, we know the UK needs to decarbonise transport faster and that’s why we have to make the switch to electric vehicles simpler. The signals couldn’t be clearer – businesses are telling us they want electric vehicles faster than expected, and that means the decarbonisation of our transport system can be delivered quicker, too.
