Alphabet revises ‘green motoring’ guide

Business mobility provider, Alphabet, has updated its Green Motoring advice guide to reflect changes in technology, performance and motoring costs, since it was originally published in 2010.

The guide contains advice about how to reduce fuel bills and carbon emissions. The new edition revealed that lower oil prices and improved efficiency means that the average employee now spends around £150 less on petrol or diesel for 12,000 miles of driving, compared to six years ago.

However, it also highlights that the typical commuter’s car is around seven years old and 20 per cent less fuel efficient that contemporary fleet cars.

Mark Gibson, head of marketing and business development at Alphabet, advised that businesses should provide employees with information to help manage their motoring bills and carbon footprint.

He added: “While businesses are well-placed to take control of their Total Cost of Business Mobility using solutions such as advanced corporate carsharing and electric vehicle strategies, helping the 60 per cent of UK workers who get to work by car to keep the cost of their commute in check is good business practice too.”

“Greener motoring is all about using less fuel and making the most of the financial advantages of lower-CO2 cars, which is what the tips in this guide are designed to achieve.”
