The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Rental company Redde Northgate has launched its second round of company car renewals with leasing supplier Ogilvie Fleet, using a newly-reworked policy which only allows plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
The new policy is said to be an important step towards Redde Northgate achieving its ESG goals, and has been set up using Ogilvie's True Cost calculation software, which has allowed for whole life cost comparisons between vehicle types to be made.
In addition, Ogilvie's lead time generation software allows more accurate forecasts of vehicle delivery times.
Redde Northgate fleet director Tim Bailey said: "This refreshed company car policy is a way to encourage our company car drivers to be part of our Drive to Zero, our journey towards total fleet decarbonisation.
"Working with the team at Ogilvie, we've been able to establish vehicle grades based on Ogilvie True Cost calculations, and that enables us to do two things; firstly, provide clarity to the business that EVs don't cost more to include on a fleet; and secondly, while limiting our drivers to plug-in cars only, we have been able to offer a better choice overall.
"This approach is supported by the ever-growing team at Charged EV, part of the Redde Northgate Group, which will install the necessary charging infrastructure at colleagues' homes."
Ogilvie Fleet sales and marketing director Nick Hardy said: "We're absolutely thrilled to extend our relationship with Redde Northgate and continue to be their partner of choice for the foreseeable future.
"Working with them to reduce their carbon emissions and help them on their road to net zero also fits well with our own strategy and is further cemented with their decision to also take our MiSalarySacrifice product as a new employee benefit.
"We've always been proud to have been chosen as their key supplier and have built a great working relationship between our respective teams. Indeed, it's that real team effort supported by fantastic people at both Redde Northgate and Ogilvie that make this relationship so strong and successful."
