Dan O’Neill, commercial director at Knowles Fleet explains: “Supporting the environment is a key priority, particularly for the younger generation, and should form an important part of every organisation’s strategy, not only to reduce emissions but to attract and retain talent and cut costs. “Transport is one of the biggest sources of emissions but can be a tricky area to tackle, especially when it comes to the privately owned vehicles employees use for work which tend to be older and more polluting. “Salary sacrifice schemes provide a great way to incentivise staff to drive a new, greener car, especially as electric vehicles attract much lower company car tax which adds to the financial savings that can be made.” Each of Knowles’ schemes is tailored to the individual organisation with specific measures to maximise emissions savings. Full carbon reduction reporting is also included to support employers’ net zero commitments.
Dan O’Neill continues: “We want to make it as easy as possible for organisations to run a sustainable car scheme as part of their environmental strategy. That’s why we take care of all the associated administration for both the employer and employee and offer a full range of free support services to help employees transition to lower emission driving.”
Knowles’ electric vehicle (EV) support services include:
Employee webinars to introduce the scheme and discuss any concerns staff may have about transitioning to an EV. On site client ‘Arrive & Drive’ events for employees to test drive electric and lower emission cars and speak with Knowles’ expert team.
Personal shopper calls in which employees can book to discuss vehicle choices and EV driving.
Preferential support with home charging solutions through Knowles’ network of national charge point providers. 'Experience EV’ option which offers employees the chance to take out an EV on a mini lease to see what it is like to live with before they commit. Scheme marketing material to highlight the benefits and financial savings available through the scheme.
