The document emphasizes the importance of transitioning to green fleets in public sector organizations, highlighting four key reasons: fuel savings, community trust, attracting talent through innovative technology, and the inevitability of stricter emissions regulations. It points out that green technology is now part of mainstream automotive solutions, leading to lower costs and enhanced community services. The piece advocates for taking initiative in adopting eco-friendly vehicles to reap both economic and social benefits.

1. GREEN FOR GO

GREEN FLEETS:
4 REASONS WHY IT’S TIME
FOR YOUR ORGANISATION
TO PUT ITS FOOT DOWN
(AND ENJOY IT)
ENVIRONMENT2015

2. REMEMBER
GREEN FLEETS?

3. EXACTLY.
THEY USED TO DRIVE THE
PUBLIC SECTOR AGENDA.
BUT THEN ALL THOSE
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
TOOK A BACK SEAT.

4. PRESSURES ON FUNDING
TURNED OUR HEADS TO
OTHER ISSUES.
THAT KIND
OF THING.

5. BUT GUESS WHAT?
GREEN THINKING
HASN’T GONE AWAY.

6. IN FACT, WHILE WE
WEREN’T LOOKING,
SUSTAINABLE
SOLUTIONS HAVE MADE
ENORMOUS GAINS.
Some pretty amazing stuff has
happened—in all areas of life.

7. ALL OF A SUDDEN...
ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS HAVE
ARRIVED IN THE REAL WORLD.
(Think more organic
food, ethical products
and smarter recycling.)
IN CONSUMER
PRODUCTS
(Think crowd-funded
social enterprises
and carbon-free
investment portfolios.)
IN FINANCE
(Think passive houses
and high-output solar
cells.)
IN ENERGY
(Think the BMW i3
electric car. Drool.)
IN TRANSPORTATION

8. THESE THINGS
REALLY WORK.
THEY MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
AND THEY’RE MAKING
CARBON-OFFSETTING
LOOK SO…
WELL, YESTERDAY.

9. IT LOOKS LIKE GREEN
TECHNOLOGY IS BACK
WITH AVENGEANCE.

10. ON
TODAY, ECO-FRIENDLINESS IS
WHERE INNOVATIONS HAPPEN.
AUTOMOTIVE TECH IS NOT
OPPOSED TO GREEN ANYMORE.
IT ENABLES IT.

11. TODAY’S SUSTAINABLE
DRIVING SOLUTIONS
ARE POWERING AHEAD.
AND THEY’RE CHALLENGING
CONVENTIONAL WAYS OF
DOING THINGS.

12. GREEN IS DOING
MORE WITH LESS.
FOR REAL
SAVINGS
Not just saying it louder, but delivering front-line benefits:t
FOR MORE
EFFICIENCY
FOR BETTER
COMMUNITIES

13. AND THE GOOD
NEWS FOR THE
PUBLIC SECTOR IS:
THE AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY HAS BEEN
TRAILBLAZING WITH
A LOT OF THIS STUFF.

14. MANUFACTURERS HAVE
INVESTED IN R&D.
A LOT.
(In 2014, the top four best
green brands were in
the automotive category!)*
They are competing to put
attractive low-emission
vehicles on the market.
That’s great for
all your drivers.

Rankings.aspx?rankingID=210nav=category

15. DRIVERS ARE
EAGER TO GET IN
THE GREEN SEAT.
(NEW VEHICLE! COOL TECH!
FUEL SAVINGS! KA-CHING!)

16. THE PUBLIC SECTOR
HAS PIONEERED GREEN
FLEET LEASING.
You led the way. The private
sector followed. And now
there are cost-effective
green leasing models that
work better than ever.

17. IT’S THE IDEAL TIME FOR
PUBLIC SECTOR FLEETS
TO GO EVEN GREENER.
NOT JUST BECAUSE
IT’S THE “RIGHT”
THING TO DO.

18. Because local
communities care
about this stuff,
Because it gives
you best value,
so you can spend
more elsewhere,
And because it’s
not going away.
Because greener
is leaner, reducing
running costs,
BUT ALSO FOR THESE
FOUR REASONS:

19. REALLY?
YES.
LET US EXPLAIN.

20. GREENER IS LEANER
AND THE TOP
REASON IS
FUEL SAVINGS.

21. Fuel is the second largest
single cost in a leased vehicle
(after rental).
So it absolutely makes sense
to lease sippers, not guzzlers
…and encourage people to
drive them efficiently.
(True fact: telematics
can totally help with that.)

22. THEN THERE’S
NATIONAL INSURANCE
And that’s lowest for low-emission
cars (whereas the leasing disallowance
for cars with high emissions (above
130 g/km) means more tax to pay).
So when we look at Whole Life
Cost, there’s a clear business case
for going green.
(If you’d like to know more,
check out this video.)

23. COMMUNITIES
CARE ABOUT
THIS STUFF.
Local residents, councillors,
schools, teachers, universities,
lecturers, students, hospitals,
managers, doctors, patients,
carers, churches, charities,
clubs, volunteers
... in fact, everyone cares
(If you’d like to know more,
check out this video.)

24. HERE’S WHAT WE MEAN:
Communities trust you to lead by
example, putting Environmental
Responsibility into action. The media
and your peers will take note.
Lower vehicle emissions enable a
healthier environment (especially
if you encourage your suppliers
to get on board too*).
Efficient vehicles deliver savings,
so you can spend more on those
frontline services that your community
values so much.
*Ideal if your suppliers have ISO 14001

25. Green is cooler than ever. and not just
because it saves you a fortune in fuel.
Forget the tree-hugging worthiness and
abstinence. Today, it’s cutting-edge tech.
Job packages with green vehicles help to
attract innovative, talented people.
It says a lot about your organisation.
(Pssst: Leonardo DiCaprio drives an
electric vehicle. That’s how cool they are.)

26. AS A PUBLIC SECTOR
ORGANISATION, YOU’RE
AN IDEAL EARLY ADOPTER
FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
AS PERK CARS.
That’s because:
You’re a high-volume buyer (that means
a discount — great for total cost of ownership)
Your vehicles are super visible within your community
(CR and PR will love it!)
And most of your drivers’ journeys never exceed
the range of a single charge (so the vehicles can
re-charge overnight)

27. THAT’S NEAT.
AND IT’S GOT
AN AMAZING
SIDE-EFFECT:
YOU’LL BE
SPREADING
EV LOVE!

28. TURNS OUT PEOPLE TOTALLY
FALL FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
ONCE THEY’VE ACTUALLY
DRIVEN ONE.
GIVE THEM THE EXPERIENCE
AND THEY’LL BECOME
PASSIONATE PROMOTERS.
Not just cars ... but the impressive array
of other electric vehicles available too.

29. A GREEN FLEET
GIVES YOU
BEST VALUE.
Every pound you save
can be diverted to support
other key services

30. GREEN FLEET: SEE THE WHOLE
LIFE COST AND THERE’S A
CLEAR CASE FOR LEASING.
Depreciation, VAT, insurance, servicing
and more... just crunch the numbers.
(This video shows you how to do it.)
What’s more, with leasing, you
always get the latest green vehicles
that offer leading-edge efficiency.

31. GREEN THINKING
IS INNOVATIVE.
It’s a mindset and culture that shows
your organisation embraces change.
You get your people thinking. They feel
inspired to find new solutions to old
problems ... stuff that the public sector
has been wrestling with for years.
It’s an attitude that will help your
organisation to excel.

32. THE BIGGEST
REASON WHY
YOU SHOULD
GO GREEN NOW,
HOWEVER, IS...

33. (DRUMROLL)

34. THAT IT’S NOT
GOING AWAY.

35. LET’S FACE IT:
ENERGY COSTS, RESOURCES
AND CO2-EMISSIONS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE.
And you won’t really have a choice.

36. IN THE NEXT COUPLE
OF YEARS...
Fuel will become even
more expensive.
Emission laws and targets
for the public sector will
become more severe (so
guzzlers will cost much,
much more).
And inner-city traffic will
become more restricted.

37. * That’s a vehicle with an internal combustion
engine aka plain old fuel-powered car.
MAYBE EVEN SOONER...
The focus of technology is
on eco-friendly developments.
Tomorrow’s cool vehicles will
all be green.
New business models
are developing around green
technology (like an EV lease
with an option for an ICE*
for longer trips).
A fast-growing range of
adaptable green vehicles are
becoming viable. Citizens will
expect organisations to lead
the way.

38. WOULD YOU RATHER
WAIT TO GO GREEN UNTIL
YOU HAVE TO?
OR DO YOU WANT TO REAP
THE REWARDS OF BEING
A PIONEER?

39. THOUGHT SO.
TALK TO US.
TELEPHONE
WE DO GREEN.

40. THIS ONE’S
REALLY EXCITING.

to make a real difference and enjoy
all the benefits that come with
a sustainable fleet strategy.
