An appetite among smaller businesses to reduce their carbon footprint is helping to fuel the growth of Glasgow-based vehicle funding and fleet management company Fleet Alliance.

A growing number of small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are exploring the opportunity of providing low-emission cars to their employees, who seem equally as keen to do their bit for the environment, through salary sacrifice schemes.

These key trends have been identified by Fleet Alliance, which has seen orders for pure electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) exceed for more than half (52%) of all new car orders over the past 12 months for the first time.

The vehicle funding and fleet management specialist was started more than 20 years ago in Scotland’s largest city by Allen and Marjory Flynn.
