The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Fleet management software provider Chevin has warned that growth in low emissions policies affecting UK cities could force fleets into operating pools of ultra-low emission vehicles.
According to Chevin managing director, Ashley Sowerby, the naming of the first four 'Go Ultra Low cities' represents a trend towards the Government encouraging and enforcing the use of ULEVs in urban areas.
"Having a much wider geographical footprint means that the new moves are likely to affect a much wider range of fleets and it is probable that more cities will follow suit. We could soon reach a point where fleets have to address the issue operationally," Sowerby said.
To get around this issue, Sowerby said that fleets would need to operate a pool of ULEV which could be used to enter the low-emission zones.
"Some kind of flexible provision seems to be the way forward and there are various ways to do this. You could specify that a certain percentage of your fleet are ULEVs and then swap them as needed among your drivers but this can be complicated."
