If you're new to fleet management, have to fit it in with your main role or simply want to check you've got the right idea about something - this guide section could really help you out.

Cost of ownership
It's not just the price of buying a car that needs to be considered when adding to a company fleet - associated costs such as residual values, tax and servicing make a big difference too - not to mention fuel. That's why we make sure ongoing cost effectiveness is built in to every Peugeot as standard. Vehicle Excise Duty, for example, is now firmly rooted in performance efficiency and minimising environmental impact; areas in which Peugeot leads the industry. To find out more, why not take a look at our tax and CO2 calculators?

Duty of care
UK legislation has increasingly placed Duty of Care firmly at the feet of the company directors and fleet managers. Through a combination of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and common law, the employer must take reasonable steps to protect its drivers and third party members of the public. While many employers believe that if company vehicle MOTs are up to date, and insurance is valid then they are doing enough to protect themselves from being sued. Unfortunately this isn't the case, and Directors and Managers may be personally liable for any injury suffered where a company vehicle is involved. For example, if your Health & Safety policy does not require employees to take regular breaks from driving then you might be found liable for any back injuries that could reasonably be linked to extended periods of enforced sitting.

Lifetime costs
Although the taxation a car attracts is a big part of the equation, it's by no means the only one - fuel consumption can make a huge difference to employer and employee alike. Which is why fuel efficiency is such a priority to us from the first design drawings right through to servicing. And that's another area in which we can take some pride. With our National Service Pricing programme we ensure that our fleet customers are getting a first class service, with unparalleled Peugeot expertise, and one that doesn't have to cost your firm an arm and a leg.

Employee satisfaction
The most important part of any business, after its customers, is its employees. And Peugeot is a cost effective way of showing them your appreciation. No other manufacturer delivers such style with affordability that makes great business sense for you and your company car drivers alike.
