Royal Mail has chosen Novuna Vehicle Solutions to provide an electric vehicle (EV) salary sacrifice scheme to more than 120,000 employees.
Claimed to be one of the largest schemes in the UK, the employee benefit aims to support the company’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
Royal Mail said that Novuna’s “vast experience” in managing company car and mixed vehicle fleets, with long standing customers such as Amey and DEFRA also transitioning their company car fleets persuaded it to choose the supplier.
Jon Lawes (pictured), managing director of Novuna Vehicle Solutions, said: “This appointment is a recognition of our ability to deliver a comprehensive salary sacrifice solution at scale.
“We are committed to providing innovative and accessible solutions that enable organisations like Royal Mail to achieve their sustainability goals while empowering their employees.
“As the urgency of the transition towards sustainable transportation grows, offering accessible options for employees is vital to accelerate the pathway to net-zero.
“This programme is a testament to our shared vision of low-emission mobility, and we look forward to collaborating with Royal Mail to further enhance electric and low-emission vehicle accessibility for all employees.”
Royal Mail employees will have access to a tailor-made EV Hub, providing guidance on making the switch to electric and a new internal ordering portal, with vehicle benefits including bespoke insurance provided by Howden Insurance UK.
To further support the transition to electric vehicles, employees will have the option to choose different smart chargers for installation at their homes, included in their vehicle monthly contract.
In its new partnership with Royal Mail, Novuna Vehicle Solutions will also leverage used vehicles as part of end-to-end decarbonisation leasing options, providing employees with a cost-effective way to make the switch to electric vehicles.
The appointment follows a series of recent new partnerships for Novuna Vehicle Solutions including Wickes, Saint-Gobain UK and Quooker, as it continues to deepen its relationships with UK businesses and provide innovative solutions to support corporate transition plans.
