CO2 emission cuts have disappeared from the
agenda of private companies, but are on top of the agenda of public
sector fleets, according to TLS Vehicle Rental.
The GE-owned commercial vehicle rental
specialist has recorded the change from pre-recession trends, when
corporate CO2 targets were frequently mentioned by private
companies when renting vans and trucks.

TLS Vehicle Rental sales director Simon Cook
said: “Almost all fleet interest in reducing CO2 in the commercial
vehicle rental market is now coming from local government and other
public sector organisations.
“However, it is something that has almost
disappeared completely from discussions with private
companies.”
He added that for private companies the
driving factors were “cost and service”, because of the short term
nature of rental, which has meant that even if there is a general
fleet CO2 policy, it is rarely being applied to the vehicles that
are taken on short term hire.
