Effective management of your grey fleet is crucial in respect of an organisation’s financial, environmental and duty of care obligations. Findings from a number of studies and fleet consultancy projects have shown that many organisations are unaware of the costs, environmental impact, and duty of care risks associated with employees using their own vehicles in the course of their work.
There are an estimated 14 million grey fleet vehicles on UK roads made up of more than 11.8 million associated with the private sector and 2.2 million from the public sector . The benefits of having a grey fleet are numerous and tend to represent lower total costs than having to lease or buy vehicles for employees travelling for work purposes.
