LEX Autolease, has helped Sky UK more than quadruple its electric vehicle fleet year-on-year, as the business looks to become net-zero emissions by 2030, two decades ahead of the government’s target.

Sky is Europe’s leading media and entertainment company, which is spread across six countries and connects 24 million customers through its broadband, mobile and TV packages.

In 2020, Sky UK introduced 29 pure EVs, and has already added a further 60 this year, with an additional 72 due for delivery in the coming months in line with its zero-emissions strategy.

The Kia e-Niro and the Renault Kangoo Z.E make up 60% of the business’s EV fleet and will be used by colleagues across the business, including the Sky News team when filming on location, sales teams, and company managers.

To support the sustainable switch, Lex Autolease has developed a Whole Life Cost policy for Sky UK’s EV fleet, including a full service and maintenance package which will help reduce running costs and minimise vehicle downtime.

Craig Mason, Customer Relationship Manager at Lex Autolease, said: “There is no doubt sustainability has jumped up the list in terms of importance for all companies. Although green fleet transformation won’t happen overnight, a steady transition can help businesses strike the balance between fulfilling their sustainable ambitions and keeping their business on the road.

“Sky UK has always had its foot on the pedal when it comes to sustainability. But, as it looked to accelerate its net-zero efforts, we were on hand to offer the best solutions and show how they could add alternative-fuelled vehicles to their fleet while cutting costs. The reduced fuel consumption and lower service and maintenance costs associated with an EV all contribute to a lower Whole Life Cost for your fleet overall.”
