Average new lease car emissions on the Grosvenor Leasing fleet fell to 108g/km in 2016, ahead of the national average of 120.1g/km.

Shaun Barritt, Grosvenor Group CEO.

The fall surpasses the latest SMMT figures for new cars, as well as figures from the BVRLA which shows that the average new lease car emitted 110.8g/km in 2016, and comes as the contract hire and fleet management specialist reports a reduction of 25% across its vehicle fleet in eight years.

Grosvenor Leasing recently launched its new 0Zone initiative to advise, help and support companies through the transition of becoming a zero or lowp-emission fleet.

Shaun Barritt, Grosvenor Group CEO, said: “With so many low emission, ultra-low emission and electric vehicles available, there is no reason why companies cannot easily drive down their average CO2 output, and we are helping many clients do just that by re-designing vehicle choice lists and ensuring drivers do not opt for vehicles that will be costly both environmentally and financially in the coming years.”
