Grey Fleet Management by Fleet Evolution

Based in the Midlands, Fleet Evolution has been a pioneer in flexible benefits and fleet services since its inception in 2010. Initially catering to smaller employers with fewer than 1,000 employees, we provide cost-neutral, flexible solutions tailored for organisations that found traditional employee car schemes too limiting or complex. Our innovation led to the launch of the UK's first electric car salary sacrifice scheme in 2012, demonstrating our commitment to accessible and sustainable fleet solutions.

The term 'grey fleet' refers to employees who use their own vehicles for company business. Under legislation, your responsibilities towards employees, customers, and the public extend to all work activities, including the use of personal vehicles. Managing a grey fleet can be complex due to the lack of visibility over the size, composition, and maintenance of these vehicles.

Fleet Evolution simplifies grey fleet management through various strategies, from cash-for-car schemes with strict guidelines to incorporating regular users into company cars or salary sacrifice schemes, all providing significant financial benefits for both employer and employee.

We offer comprehensive services for grey fleet management:

  • Policy Setup: Establishing clear operating rules for using personal vehicles.
  • Vehicle Regulations: Guidelines on permissible vehicle types, including maximum age limits.
  • Enforcement and Documentation: Managing everything from service confirmations to license checks and insurance verification.
  • Online Tools: Ensuring drivers regularly inspect their vehicles in line with the Highway Code.
  • Regular Communication: Engaging with drivers to explore more beneficial arrangements, such as transitioning to salary sacrifice schemes.
