Fleet Evolution is launching a new salary sacrifice scheme for micro businesses and new start-ups that specialises in hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs).

Its LEAN scheme is designed especially for smaller organisations with a financial barrier to full scale salary sacrifice programmes, and businesses who want to gauge interest in such a scheme.

Under the scheme, employees can select from a slightly smaller selection of electric vehicles and hybrid models which, while not new, are all less than six months old and leased in "perfect condition".

Andrew Leech (pictured), founder and managing director of Fleet Evolution, said: “When we launched our very first salary sacrifice scheme back in 2011, we were - and continue to be - incredibly proud of opening up this sort of employee benefit option to companies of all sizes, and we remain one of the only companies to do so.

“But over the years, we’ve really listened to the needs of our clients, and we’ve been on a mission to make our schemes as inclusive as possible. That’s why we’ve launched our new LEAN scheme, ensuring we’re offering the very best strategies for every one of our clients.”

While the LEAN scheme is a stripped-down alternative to Fleet Evolution’s standard benefits programme, participants still get the same level of service that minimises admin for organisations.
