The future is EV & for a good reason

Company Cars are VIP’s biggest producer of carbon, far exceeding almost all other aspects of the company, in the past 5 years VIP Polymers have been moving away from the standard Diesel and Petrol company cars and replacing these with Plugin Hybrids to help reduce our Carbon Footprint.

Recently the company took a commercial decision to phase out all Diesel, Petrol and Hybrid company vehicles and replace them with 100% EV carbon-neutral models.

The first of the changes happened at the end of November 22 when we replaced a VW Passat Plug-In Hybrid with the lasted generation of the BMW iX3 100% EV producing 0g/KM emissions.

Since then we have taken delivery of 5 new EV’s each one replacing either a Hybrid or Petrol model.

Future-proofing this move we have added 4 EV charging points and marked these out for the use of Electric vehicles only.

The reason for this commercial decision is to help half the Carbon footprint of the company cars over the next 5 years this is in line with a number of other changes which have already been implemented and changes that are in development.

Since making the switch to using all-electric company cars for our management and sales team, we will save around 35.17 tons of CO2 per year.

Over the next 4 years lease agreements we can expect to save over 140 tons in total.
