A GREENER BUSINESS
Electric vans produce zero direct emissions, which can help limit your business's carbon footprint, reduce air pollution, and improve air quality in the environment. You can reduce your indirect emissions by charging your EV through a renewable source, such as wind or solar power, to be closer to a net-zero emissions fleet.
LESS MAINTENANCE HASSLE
Electric commercial vans can have lower maintenance costs as they have fewer moving parts and less wear and tear of components. This reliability of electric vehicles is a significant benefit to businesses to reduce vehicle downtime, operational costs, and outgoings to improve cash flow.
CLEAN AIR ZONES & ULEZ COMPLIANT
Electric vehicles in the UK are exempt from CAZ charges helping you save money when driving through urban areas and save time and hassle. In London, vehicles that are not Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) exempt and fail to meet the ULEZ emission standards must pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive inside the zone.
LONG TERM MONEY SAVING
Electric vehicles in the UK are exempt from paying any road tax, allowing you to allocate more funds to your monthly business operations and saving you a significant amount over time. Additionally, charging with electricity can be cheaper than fuelling with petrol or diesel with several government grants and EV tariffs at your disposal.
DRIVE TO ZERO
With the UK's long-term plan to transition to zero emissions transport, Northgate is prepared to support your business through every stage of your EV journey from strategy to implementation and beyond.
We have the knowledge and tools needed to transition your fleets to Electric Vehicles, in a way that makes financial and practical sense.

Sustainable Electric Vehicle Travel
Choosing to enhance your fleet with our electric vans and cars to hire will help you achieve your commitment to creating a cleaner, more sustainable future. Electric vehicles contribute significantly to reducing air pollution in our cities and towns, where traditional combustion engines are major pollutants. By choosing us, you can cover all the needs of your vehicle and unlock comprehensive fleet solutions in simple, regular payments.
EVs offer a practical solution to the growing concerns over urban air quality, directly impacting the health and well-being of our communities.
A notable advantage of electric vehicle travel is the exemption from Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges - which are fees on certain polluting vehicles. As electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions, they can navigate these zones without incurring any charges.
By integrating EVs into your fleet, you align your business with progressive environmental standards and demonstrate a proactive approach to combating climate change.
