Automotive Leasing celebrates decade of success for GreenPlan project

Automotive Leasing, the specialist public sector brand of LeasePlan, has reported good results from it’s GreenPlan ultra low emission vehicle (ULEV) project.

The GreenPlan project was created with the aim of supporting the increased use of ULEVs within public sector and not-for-profit fleets, to reduce emissions and increase efficiency.

In addition to the use of ULEVs, such as hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure-electric vehicles, Automotive Leasing also encouraged other solutions to increase efficiency, including decreasing vehicle idling and monitoring driver behaviour.

Since the launch of GreenPlan in 2005, Automotive Leasing has reported a reduction of 28 per cent in the average carbon dioxide emissions of its fleet. The average emissions now sit at 128g/km, with nearly 10 per cent falling to 95g/km.

Tom Brewer, brand director at Automotive Leasing, said: “We are incredibly proud of the GreenPlan project and its success so far, and are delighted to have worked with so many organisations over the past 10 years to improve their carbon footprint.

“However, we know there is still a long way to go to increase the uptake of ULEV. We are committed to leading the charge in driving down vehicle emissions to encourage a healthier society and environment today, and for future generations. This project is still in its infancy, and we look forward to further increasing ULEV uptake, UK-wide, for both current and prospective clients over the coming years.”
