Resin Products opts for Lexus hybrids for first vehicle fleet

By / 10 years ago / Latest News / No Comments

The firm is a specialist in the supply of high-quality ion exchange resins, materials that, in the majority, are completely toxin-free and recyclable, and used in environmentally responsible processes across a wide range of industrial applications, from water treatment to nuclear power.

Resin Products has acquired its vehicles through Business Drive Contract Hire, with a three-year renewal plan, and has selected IS 300h and CT 200h models. Both vehicles fall within the lowest two bands for road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty), attracting low BiK company car tax rates. The scheduled service and maintenance programmes and the cars’ proven reliability were other key attractions.

Phil Goscombe, Resin Products managing director, said: ‘Lexus’s hybrid technology is impressive, and there is a good synergy with the environmental aims of our water purification products.

‘Beyond these benefits, the proposition was even more compelling for us because of the cost savings it delivers through lower tax. The result is we can operate a cleaner, more cost-effective fleet, yet still enjoy driving high-quality, prestige cars.’
