easitNETWORK teams up with Tusker to offer branded salary sacrifice for cars to members

The not-for-profit organisation will use its easitNETWORK Salary Sacrifice Car Scheme to heavily promote low emission vehicles, and offer additional discounts and incentives for electric and hybrid cars.

Tusker has worked with easitNETWORK to develop a Sustainability Fund initiative, where the company calculates the carbon savings for an employee coming out of their old car and going into a new scheme car. For each ton of carbon reduced, the employer receives £30 towards sustainability projects such as charging posts or solar panels.

Working in partnership with easitNETWORK, Tusker offers members a tailored scheme that allows employees to offset their vehicle’s carbon footprint. Drivers can also benefit from a complimentary ‘Smarter Driving’ course, run by Tusker. The 45-minute course teaches drivers how to drive in a fuel efficient manner and increase their mpg.

Dr Mel Mehmet MBE, CEO at easitNETWORK, said: “We are delighted to be working with Tusker on this exciting new initiative for easitMEMBERS! Our aim is to introduce our members to a complete range of sustainable transport initiatives – a ‘something for everyone’ approach. Partnering with Tusker will enable us to engage with those commuters where driving is the only option!”
