Take ControlDon’t let the Grey Fleet drag you onto the hard shoulder
![Page 2: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Millions of people in the UK use their own vehicles for work purposes.
They are the Grey Fleet. And they’re starting to get out of control.
![Page 3: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
*Energy Saving Trust
There are around
4 million Grey Fleet cars in the UK.
That’s andthe number of company cars3x of the total business
cars on the road.*40%
![Page 4: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Often these cars are older,built to outdated emissions standards and without modern safety features.
![Page 5: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But you know the worst thing about The Grey Fleet?
Often they’re poorly maintained.because that expensive car service can always wait until next month, can’t it?
![Page 6: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And often they’re used instead of cheaper alternativesadding unnecessary costs where other options would be more cost-effective.
![Page 7: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
And in the public sector, Grey Fleet use isn’t the exception. It’s the norm.More than half of all public sector business travel is in driver-owned vehicles.*

It’s not cost-effective.
It’s not environmentally friendly
And it’s not safe.
![Page 9: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But you know the worst thing about The Grey Fleet?

The worst thing is not knowing.The true financial costsThe environmental impactThe health and safety issues

Let’s be honest about this.
![Page 12: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In most organisations nobody knows how much the Grey Fleet actually costs.

But once you sit down and think about it,
the costs soon start to add up.
![Page 14: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
> No central view of cost
![Page 15: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
> Pence per mile rates too high
![Page 16: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
> Plenty of more cost-effective alternatives
![Page 17: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
> Employees taking the scenic route…

And who’s monitoring all these costs?
Who’s keeping on top of it all?
Who’s in charge of this mess?
![Page 19: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Usually, the answer is:
nobody.
![Page 20: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
So far, so terrible.But that’s not all.
![Page 21: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If you don’t know anything about the cars employees drive
There’s no way of measuring their
environmental impact.
![Page 22: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tens of thousands of miles every year+ older vehicles
+ poor maintenance
= higher emissions
![Page 23: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
And when you’ve got carbon footprint targets to hit you need to know everything about the impact of the Grey Fleet.
![Page 24: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New EU and UK Government directives demand that larger organisations record all emissions, and that includes personal vehicles used on business.
And audits are happening right now.
![Page 25: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So when the auditors turn up at the door who’s going to tell them exactly how much the Grey Fleet is adding to your carbon footprint?
![Page 26: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Don’t panic, here they come…
![Page 27: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Oh... It’s nobody again!
![Page 28: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Slide 3
But hold on – there’s still more.
Employers are legally responsible for employees driving for work. Regardless of the ownership of the vehicle.
![Page 29: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
To fulfil their duty of care, employers need up-to-date information on Grey Fleet carsHow old are they?
Do they have an MOT?
Do they have valid insurance?
Does the driver have a valid license?
![Page 30: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Three guesses who knows about all this in most organisations.
![Page 31: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You got it in one:Nobody.
![Page 32: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Often, the first time this information surfaces is after an accident.
Too late.
But you know the worst thing about The Grey Fleet?
Slide 18
![Page 33: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Costs. Environmental impact. Safety.All things you’d expect to know everything about in any other area of your organisation.
Anywhere else, these are the basics.
![Page 34: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
So why are they missing in the one area where:
> Expenses can be almost boundless
> Carbon footprint is potentially huge
> Employees are at risk
![Page 35: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
It’s time to take back control. But how?
![Page 36: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Well, putting somebody in charge would be a great place to start.
> Clear accountability
> Properly resourced
> Detailed reporting
![Page 37: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
And getting a handle on the data is an essential first step.
> Central view of all expenses
> Set mileage and emissions baselines
> Identify vehicle/driver issues
![Page 38: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Gathering all this information can be difficult
> Who’s driving what?
> Where are they going?
> And why?
![Page 39: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Time consumingAre their cars suitable for business use?
Or even roadworthy?
What are their carbon emissions?
![Page 40: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
maybe even painfulWhat rates are being paid?
Who authorises payments?
How do costs compare to alternative options?
![Page 41: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
But not as painful as paying over the odds (in pence per mile)
for a sub-standard product (old, poorly maintained vehicles)
that puts your employees (and your organisation) at risk.
![Page 42: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Let’s face it – if you made some changes, what’s the worst that could happen?
![Page 43: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
You’d finally get a true picture of your
> Costs
> Environmental impact
> Health and safety issues
Visibility you take for granted in every other part of your organisation
![Page 44: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
And once you’ve got the data you can start to make some
informed decisions.
![Page 45: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
And find the right combination of alternatives
Salary sacrifice
Car pools
Hire cars
Company cars
Public transport
Teleconferencing
![Page 46: Grey fleet rant](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032223/55c44972bb61eb6d378b478d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
This is powerful stuff.
It could transform your organisation.
More control
Lower costs
Reduced pollution
Improved safety
Better public image
Increased productivity
Less absence

But remember: this isn’t a revolution
It’s an evolution.
