Managing a grey fleet can be a real challenge for fleets as an increasing number of employees use their own vehicles for work purposes because of the growth of affinity schemes and cash allowances.
Peter Eggeman, programme manager – Fleet Support at Energy Saving Trust, will speak on Wednesday and provide advice and guidance on grey fleet decarbonisation, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, by reducing the size and cost of a grey fleet.
Alison Moriarty, fleet risk director at DRiiVE Consulting, will present on Thursday. She will offer advice on how to manage your grey fleet efficiently and safely, including pitfalls to watch out for, legal obligations for anyone driving their own car for work purposes, differences between managing ad hoc very occasional grey fleet and cash takers who pile on the miles and how to get control/data from HR.

With the Government’s 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars looming, an increasing number of companies are starting on the journey to a zero-emission fleet.
The Electric Vehicle sessions, sponsored by Rightcharge, will offer best practice tips to help fleet operators get the most out of an electrification strategy, from using total cost of ownership to calculate costs, steps to take to implement a workplace charging infrastructure, different charging scenarios for home and public networks, pitfalls to consider and hurdles to overcome along the way.
Charlie Cook, CEO of Rightcharge , will outline the key considerations for fleet operations when forming their workplace charging strategy. He will also consider the options for home charging, including reimbursement and provide advice about how public charging should fit into a fleet’s travel policy.
He will be joined by Kevin Booker, IT Systems and fleet manager at Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. Brooker will share his journey to an electric fleet, offering guidance and best practice tips; from using total cost of ownership to calculate costs, steps to take to implement a workplace charging infrastructure, charging scenarios for home and public networks, pitfalls to consider and hurdles to overcome along the way.
