Grey Fleet
Grey fleet travel refers to mileage in employee-owned vehicles - a grey area, where millions of hidden miles are travelled each year and often overlooked by employers and employees alike. This means that if you are a public sector organisation looking to make cost savings, reduce environmental impact, or better manage the risks related to driving for work, grey fleet is an important place to focus your attention.

Why tackle grey fleet and what are the benefits?
Do you know how many grey fleet miles your employees travel each year? Many public sector organisations have been surprised to uncover the extent of the mileage covered in grey fleet vehicles.
Management of grey fleet can help generate benefits in the following key areas:
- health and safety - ensuring fulfilment of duty of care for employees driving for work and avoiding financial and reputational damage linked to road-related accidents and injuries
- environmental sustainability - reducing carbon emissions by removing unnecessary road mileage and transferring travel to public transport and pool and hire cars with lower emissions
- financial efficiency - achieving direct cost savings by reducing the number of journeys made and promoting the use of the most cost effective method of transport in each case.
