Reducing fleet costs in Europe by “going green” and developing a more sustainable fleet is both very appealing and true. Smart and proactive vehicle policy management allows corporations to safely reduce up to 8.5% on the total cost of ownership — and all of this without sacrificing driver satisfaction, safety standards, or launching challenging debates with works councils and unions. Seventeen countries have now linked part of their car taxation to the environmental performance of vehicles. This is good news for Europe and the individual nations — namely Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Germany — but unfortunately, the lack of uniform measures fails to provide a clear and strong European message. With so many nations, it is a daunting project when you look at it from a distance.
