The government and industry-backed Go Ultra Low campaign, show that – while the average cost to fuel a petrol or diesel car is around 12p-per-mile, the equivalent cost for an ultra low emission vehicle is just 2p-per-mile.
With the average car travelling around 7,500 miles each year, the difference in annual spend between the two options is a substantial £7,505 – equating to tens of billions of pounds across the nation’s 32.6 million cars.
The potential savings for fleets are even higher.
Spread across dozens, hundreds or thousands of vehicles, savings on fuel alone can be huge. Add to this the tax benefits of running low emission vehicles [zero road tax for a start if you drive all electric] and it’s easy to see why those responsible for company fleets are increasingly seeing low emission vehicles as a viable and financially rewarding alternative.
