The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Alternative solution
Croydon Council and Zipcar worked together to cut the amount of grey fleet miles by setting up a pool of 24 car-club vehicles at six locations across the council's patch.
The vehicles are available to staff for business use between 8am and 6pm during the week. The council has negotiated a fee that's two and half times less expensive than the standard rate because outside of the council work hours the cars are available to the public, and the profits from this time go to Zipcar.
The scheme was first introduced as a trial in 2010, but was made official in early 2013 and so far has saved the council a claimed £500,000. 400 staff now use the cars and grey fleet mileage has also reduced by 42% to 642,000 a year for the council, which is equivalent to a 36% reduction in emissions.
