As fleet managers and financial decision makers, it falls to you to support the growth of your business by investing in the right vehicles.

As we know, British businesses are under pressure from factors beyond our control. For one, the commercial vehicle industry that supplies our transport is experiencing turbulence. For another, legislation is siding with broader economic issues over smaller business interests.

But what’s behind the shifting landscape?

Tectonic Shifts

When it comes to climate change, the prevailing wind says we’ve got to do something about it. Eighty percent of LGVs on the road don’t adhere to new emission standards. And Clean Air Zone charges loom for many of our major cities, with London recently adopting its Ultra Low Emission Zone to lead the way.

Euro VI engines can be a costly upgrade for older fleets, let alone hybrids and the like, so the question seems to be one of economy vs longevity: how will smaller businesses afford the cost of upgrading? And will they be penalised for opting for short term solutions?   

Trade Relations

Our relationship with the European Union is changing. With the possibility of shifting tariffs on imports and exports alike, might we be tightening our cambelts soon? Or are new opportunities on the horizon for businesses?

What will your next vehicle look like?

As an ally of businesses, we at fuelGenie are asking you to share your thoughts on what your next vehicle investment could look like. Together we can build an accurate picture of what UK businesses are planning and help meet your future needs.

Euro VI or older engine? Van or car? Lease or purchase? Sooner or later? Is it go-with-the-gut or do you know something we don’t?
