UK: Salary sacrifice drivers want ULEVs

A survey of over 600 drivers by Zenith Leasedrive Group has revealed that over 61 per cent are interested in ordering an electric or hybrid car through a salary sacrifice car scheme.

Of these, 12 per cent would choose an electric car, 33 per cent a plug-in hybrid and 55 per cent a non-plug-in hybrid. Salary sacrifice car drivers can save money through selecting an alternative fuelled car, through fuel savings and reductions in vehicle excise duty (car tax) andcompany car tax.

The most popular electric car ordered through Zenith's salary sacrifice car schemes is the BMW i3, followed by the Nissan Leaf. The Toyota Prius is the most ordered plug-in hybrid, with the Lexus CT 200h being the most in demand non-plug-in hybrid car.
