Lloyds Banking Group has announced that its fleet will be one of the first in the UK to use Honda's latest hybrid car - the Honda Insight.

Following a deal negotiated by its leasing arm, Lex Autolease, 32 newly developed Honda Insight vehicles will form part of the Lloyds Banking Group's 'essential user' fleet, for field based employees who spend the majority of their time on the road.

Nigel Trotman, Fleet Manager at LTSBA, said: “As the first hatchback hybrid, the Honda Insight is practical and economical, enabling the Lloyds Banking Group essential user fleet to effectively reduce its carbon footprint.”
