ARE YOU READY FOR
THE CAZ REVOLUTION?
Research commissioned by Europcar Mobility Group UK found that over 87% of fleet managers believe their business will be impacted by the growing number of Clean Air Zones (CAZ) across the UK. And the cost implications of this could be considerable.
The challenge is how to build and manage a fleet that meets CAZ and London ULEZ requirements, but is also flexible and cost-effective. And all while vehicle supply is constrained. Having the ability to manage costs and ‘flex’ fleet by using rental, short and long-term, in response to fluctuations in demand will be key.
Having access to the latest electric vehicles, without having to make long-term financial commitments, will be also crucial.
Responding to these challenges, Europcar is not only increasing the share of green vehicles in its fleet. It is also making a significant investment in vehicle charging at the Europcar network around the UK as well as taking an innovative approach to cutting down emissions in its operations, with the use of e-bikes for drivers delivering and collecting vehicles.

Europcar adds 100 LEVC VN5 Vans to commercial fleet
Demonstrating its clear intent to deliver electrified and flexible transport solutions for commercial vehicle users, Europcar added 100 London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) hybrid electric VN5 vans to its Vans & Trucks fleet at the start of 2022.
Available for long-term rental from its Vans & Trucks locations across the UK, with a particular focus on the cities where Clean Air Zones are in force or scheduled for 2022, this new fleet addresses an urgent need amongst commercial vehicle users.
They give businesses the flexibility to ‘try before they buy’, without having to commit to lease or outright purchase, giving them the chance to really understand how electric will work for them and their drivers. Long-term rental of the VN5 also provides important financial flexibility while the UK economy remains uncertain. Plus, crucially, the VN5 gives customers a compliant solution eliminating the need to factor in additional costs for entering Clean Air Zones.
The VN5 is a truly innovative workhorse that delivers great storage capacity as well as the flexibility of LEVC’s eCity Range-Extender to eliminate the range anxiety that is holding back many commercial vehicle users from moving to electric.
