Guide to motoring: Choosing the right fuel

Over the years there has been a debate around petrol versus diesel vehicles, and the best solution for individual companies and their fleets.

However this debate has evolved even further and is now influenced by several revolutionary industry developments.

These developments are both positive and exciting – however they do make fleet policy decisions more complicated.

When deciding your fuel policy, stay technology neutral and consider: the style and type of driving; the mileages covered; whether it’s rural, urban or motorway driving.

Having all of this information available will allow you to weigh up all of the options available, and help you to identify the best solution for your fleet.

In addition with emissions and environmental reporting schemes, such as ESOS becoming more prevalent for companies and growing in importance, there could be further benefits to focusing on the most efficient and cleanest vehicle technology. This is just a brief insight into the key issues affecting today’s fleet managers and fleet decision makers.
