Pendragon Vehicle Management sees CO2 emissions fall by 5%

Pendragon Vehicle Management has driven down CO2 emissions of its vehicles by almost 5% since 2013.

It said the drop is due to the increased range of hybrid vehicles that are now available across the manufacturer spectrum, as well as new engines offering much lower CO2 emission levels than ever before.

Neal Francis, divisional managing director at Pendragon Vehicle Management, said: "We’ve seen a significant decrease in the amount of CO2 our vehicles are emitting as a whole, which is a great step in the right direction as we do our bit to help enhance the world we live in.

"Our customers are now better educated on the benefits of choosing a lower CO2 emitting fleet, which include lower national insurance and benefit-in-kind tax and, of course, an improved environment for us all.

“We forecast our total emissions will fall even further given the lower level of emissions for vehicles we have on order, as the popularity of hybrid and new technologies gain in popularity as fleet vehicles.”
