Maintain correct tyre pressure, reduce speed from 70 to 60mph (saves up to 25% fuel), remove unnecessary weight, plan routes to avoid stop-start city driving, and service your vehicle regularly.
At 148p/litre diesel, a large van doing 300 miles costs roughly £43 in fuel. The same journey in an electric van costs approximately £15-20 in electricity — plus £0 in ULEZ or Congestion Charges in London.
Fuel Card Savings
Fleet fuel cards (Allstar, UK Fuels, BP) typically save 3-8p per litre versus pump price. On 30,000 miles per year in a large van, that's £400-£700 saved annually.
