ElectriX collaboration with CBVC Vehicle Management aims to revolutionise fleet management and salary sacrifice schemes for businesses transitioning to electric mobility.

CBVC’s success in fleet management is exemplified by its recently renewed partnership for a further 3 years with Europcar Mobility Group UK, where their expertise led to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions from an average of 129 g/km to just 29 g/km per company car over the initial three years. This achievement underscores CBVC’s capability in supporting large-scale fleet electrification, with nearly 80% of Europcar’s drivers now using battery electric vehicles. This partnership has played a crucial role in enhancing fleet efficiency and supporting Europcar’s ‘One Sustainable Fleet’ decarbonization strategy.

Mike Manners, Managing Director of CBVC Vehicle Management, explains, “Our partnership with ElectriX allows us to extend our proven fleet management solutions to a broader range of businesses looking to electrify their fleets. We’re combining our expertise with ElectriX’s platform to offer a comprehensive, end-to-end service for electric vehicle adoption.”

CBVC supports ElectriX’s Fleet and Salary Sacrifice accounts with a suite of sophisticated tools and services:

• Advanced Vehicle Selection System: Instead of traditional car lists, CBVC provides clients with access to a state-of-the-art Vehicle Selection Site. This interactive platform offers detailed information about available electric vehicles, including video reviews and vehicle trade-up options, helping drivers make informed decisions based on their specific needs and preferences.
• Driver App: A user-friendly mobile application that keeps drivers connected and informed about their vehicles, charging options, and maintenance schedules.
• Duty of Care Compliance Tools: Ensuring that businesses meet their legal obligations and maintain the highest standards of safety for their fleet drivers.
• Carbon Reduction Tools and Strategy: Comprehensive solutions to help businesses track, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint as they transition to electric vehicles.

Mark Newberry, Commercial Director and Sustainability spokesperson at Europcar Mobility Group UK, attests to the effectiveness of CBVC’s approach: “We are working with a wide diversity of businesses that are getting to grips with reducing emissions on their own fleets. It is, therefore, essential that we can show we understand the barriers they may face when aiming to win the hearts and minds of their drivers. By working with CBVC we have been able to deliver a streamlined solution that makes it easy for employees to make the switch.

“We have also learnt about some of the things that drivers worry about before they make the switch – and the reality once they get behind the wheel of their electric company car.”

The success of the Europcar partnership demonstrates CBVC’s ability to manage large fleets efficiently and their commitment to exceptional service – key factors in client satisfaction and partnership renewals, setting them apart from competitors in the market.

Julie Hayes, Account Manager at CBVC, highlights the company’s innovative approach: “Our innovative automated selection process rewards drivers for picking lower C02 cars. And with recent increases in prices, we have demonstrated the value of a multi-bid approach to funding.”

As businesses increasingly look to electrify their fleets, CBVC’s partnership with ElectriX offers a compelling solution. ElectriX aims to demystify EV adoption by providing clear information on costs, charging, and ownership, as well as information on leasing and everyday electric car driving information and tips. By combining ElectriX’s platform for showcasing available electric vehicles and leasing options with CBVC’s comprehensive fleet management services, the partnership provides a one-stop shop for businesses looking to transition to sustainable mobility.
