V12 Vehicle Finance has committed to introducing a fully electric and hybrid fleet by June 2024 as part of its plan to reduce its carbon emissions.

The Solihull-based vehicle finance brand will convert its fleet of 21 vehicles ahead of the government’s plan to ban the sale of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030.

Currently 30% of V12VF’s sales team have opted for a fully electric vehicle and 65% for a plug-in hybrid, making its fleet 95% sustainable and efficient. In the next 6 months, the company is aiming to reduce overall emissions by 70-80% in comparison to its present fleet, with a maximum cap set of 120g CO2/km for field-based employees that do not presently have infrastructure to install a charging point at home.

This commitment to reducing the company’s carbon footprint will also drive significant financial savings for the business and its drivers, within fuel costs, Benefit-in-Kind and Employer NI contributions. For instance, if the average employee travels 3,000 miles a month in an EV, they’ll be saving around £250 monthly in fuel costs and reducing CO2 emissions by 0.5 tonnes.

The business’s field and head office-based employees will be able to choose from a wide range of makes and models including BMW 330e, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Tesla Model 3.

David Nield, managing director of V12VF, said: “As a company, we want to make sure we’re doing right by our customers, dealers and employees. Reducing our carbon footprint and emissions is a core part of that mission.
