AMT Vehicle Rental invests £200,000 in EVs

AMT Group has invested £200,000 in electric vehicles (EVs) in response to growing demand from customers looking to use low emission vehicles.

The investment will cover a Tesla Model S and a number of Nissan LEAFs, which will be available at AMT’s Leeds, Manchester Stockport and London locations.

AMT has also claimed it is the first company to offer the Tesla as a daily, weekly or monthly rental option.

Commenting on the move, Andy Crinson, general manager of AMT Vehicle Rental, explained: “We are one of the first rental companies in the UK to offer premium electric cars and hybrids with nearly 10 per cent of our fleet now made up of these energy-efficient vehicles, giving customers a wide range of options from an economical city centre run-about like the Leaf to the stylish high performance Tesla sports car.

“This investment comes at a time when we feel the market is sufficiently mature to be able to offer a range of eco-friendly vehicles, and all the cost savings they bring, while still retaining the quality and performance they have come to expect from our range of prestige cars.”
