SHEDDING LIGHT ON A GREY AREA
SAFEDRIVE’S ‘COMPLETE’ GREY FLEET MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
‘A grey fleet vehicle is one owned and driven by an employee for business purposes. The employee is reimbursed on a pence per mile basis for using their private vehicle on business journeys. Vehicles used by employees under cash allowance schemes are considered grey fleet too’ British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA)
The number of companies relying solely on their own fleet of vehicles to provide mobility for their employees has been declining for several years. Conversely, the number of employees using their own vehicles for business purposes has increased significantly.
Companies have a legal obligation to ensure that grey fleet vehicles are:
- Reasonably safe to use
- Fit for purpose
- Lawfully on the road
