Foundation Solutions HV launches EV sal sac scheme from Fleet Alliance

SCOTTISH civil engineering specialist Foundation Solutions HV (FSHV) has introduced an electric car salary sacrifice scheme from Fleet Alliance

Headquartered In New Cumnock, East Ayrshire, FSHV is a multi-disciplined civil engineering contractor working within the renewable and traditional energy sector.

With around 80 highly skilled operatives across multiple UK sites, FSHV has brought in the Fleet Alliance salary sacrifice scheme to provide access to EVs for the first time under a corporate scheme.

“We have been very impressed since engaging Fleet Alliance to provide a salary sacrifice benefit for all our staff as they have been able to put together a scheme focused on electric cars that completely meets our needs,” said Carol McPhee, Finance and Audit Manager.

“I attended an open day with a colleague at Fleet Alliance’s headquarters in Glasgow where they demonstrated all the benefits of an EV salary sacrifice scheme and had some electric demonstrators for us to try. This firmly convinced us to go ahead with the scheme.”

FSHV Employees have been encouraged to participate in the scheme by regular scheme communications, providing information on scheme benefits, electric driving and EV technology, while word of mouth has led to rapid uptake amongst staff and early termination insurance, which is built into the monthly lease rates, has provided peace of mind.

With a wide choice of electric cars available, both new and used, models from Mercedes, Audi, Jaecoo, Peugeot, Renault, MG and Kia are amongst those selected by employees to date.

All the scheme cars will be managed through Fleet Alliance’s proprietary cloud-based fleet management and reporting platform, e-Fleet.

And drivers can use e-Fleet to research, compare and order their next electric vehicle directly, and can source vehicles specific to their current grade or salary bracket while checking specification, Benefit-in-Kind and whole life cost.
