e-zoomed View
The salient points of the U.K. governments ‘Road to Zero Strategy’ makes a strong case for the transition by businesses to zero-emission driving. All-electric commercial vehicles, like the Nissan e-NV200 will become the ‘norm’ sooner than later. In fact, we at e-zoomed believe that businesses will migrate to electric commercial vehicles much sooner than the 2040 impending deadline.
Businesses using pure electric vans, like the e-NV200 can benefit from a number of incentives to include, the government grant, lower to zero vehicle excise duty, zero congestion and ULEZ charge. But above all, we believe businesses will benefit from ‘improved consumer perception’, which is invaluable. Consumers, have and will continue to support products and brands that have demonstrated sustainability and the environment at the core of their DNA and strategy. Electric transportation is certainly a very visible demonstration of brand values, and we encourage all businesses to adopt all-electric zero emission transportation.
