The work of the Committee
The Leasing and Fleet Management Committee has had a focus on ensuring demand for vehicle supply is met and that access to funding remains available throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
The committee supported the BVRLA’s response to the phase out consultation for the ending of petrol and diesel new car and van sales, requesting that a segmented approach be taken, and welcomed the Government’s decision to heed this advice by extending the 2030 deadline to 2035 for hybrids and holding a separate consultation for HGVs.
Another priority during 2020 has been discussing and identifying issues that may occur once the EU Exit transition period ends, depending on what the new trading environment will bring.
The committee also supported the production of a number of communications toolkits, including advice for customers on what needs to be considered during the lease cycle: when considering leasing, during the lease period and when the vehicle is returned.
