Wondering how to make your fleet more sustainable?

If your job involves managing a fleet, you’ll play an important role in ensuring your organisation stays compliant on the Road to Zero. But don’t worry – we’re here to help you prepare for a greener future.

Read on to discover five, key steps for keeping your fleet compliant, plus the risks you could face if you don’t take action.

What is the Road to Zero?

As you might already know, the Road to Zero is the government’s long-term strategy to achieve cleaner road transport. Its goals include:

  • Putting the UK at the leading edge of low-emission and electric vehicle (EV) design and production.
  • Only permitting the selling of new cars and vans that are effectively zero emission.
  • Accelerating the adoption of fuel-efficient motoring by business fleets, company car drivers, and private motorists.

Making any sort of meaningful change to your fleet can take time. So, it’s important to be proactive, and to start thinking about how you can comply with the Road to Zero strategy now.

Risks of non-compliance for those involved in fleet management

If your business requires vehicle movements near cities like London, Bristol, and Birmingham, it’s likely you’ll already understand the risks of non-compliance with ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone), LEZ (Low Emission Zone), and CAZ (Clean Air Zone) regulations.

However, the government’s commitment to a zero-emission future means that new rules, regulations, and deadlines may soon be on the horizon.

Staying up to date means you can avoid the risk of:

  • Fines for non-compliance
  • Loss of contracts
  • Reputational damage
  • Increased operating costs
  • Legal action
