Volkswagen communications manager Tracey Rossetti commented: ‘We had a very positive response to the previous fleet manager guides we published and, with the ever-changing fleet industry we felt it important to continue to support our customers by making their lives a little easier.

‘We now offer a wealth of information on our website from tools and calculators to the latest Emissions Guide, which features 15 models with a CO2 emission figure of 130g/km or below, and includes the new Golf Estate.’
