A plan to electrify all British Gas vehicles by 2025 is being helped by Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions’s (HCVS) decision to allow diesel vans to be terminated early at no extra cost.
Centrica, owner of British Gas, has committed to electrify its 12,000- strong operational fleet by 2025, five years earlier than originally planned, as part of its commitment to become a net zero organisation.
It has also committed to make its 1,500 company cars EV-only in the same time frame.
However, in order for the total cost of ownership (TCO) to remain competitive on diesel vehicles still joining the fleet, lease provider Hitachi Capital needed to be creative.
