Car and van leasing company, Square 1 Leasing, has launched a new business to meet the rising demand for LPG, Crain’s report. LPG Fleet Solutions will target medium sized companies in a bid to save them money on the cost of running diesel vehicles.
The venture began after Square 1 Leasing supplied four vehicles to electrical company, Hirst and Danson who were keen to find a way to reduce the cost of running their company fleet.
Joe Makepeace, Hirst & Danson’s health and safety manager told Crain’s;
“We were sat in the office and looking at our bills and to be honest I knew nothing about LPG other than the fact that a friend who had a Land Rover converted a couple of years ago set fire to his. But when you discover that the price of LPG is 50p a litre and we were paying £1.31 per litre for diesel…95 per cent of our fuel bill is diesel for the vans, and it’s a lot of money.”
Square 1 Leasing resolved to supply LPG vehicles on lease and sell Hirst and Danson’s old fleet.
