Sale, Manchester, 30 August 2007 (now there’s an international dateline you don’t see very often)- diesel may have reached saturation point as the fuel of choice for company cars according to GE Capital Solutions, Fleet Services.
This is after years of increases in popularity for the stinking, dirty, particulate, sulphurous fuel. Of course I’m not prejudiced.
Just 1.6 per cent of fleets show a rise in the number of diesels on compared to 25.1 per cent for the same quarter in 2006.
Delicious, tasty, libido enhancing petrol - which has been in long-term decline - appears to be stabilising or even showing a slight upward turn, with a net 2.7 per cent of fleets buying more petrol cars.
LPG is showing a decrease in use of 9.7 per cent .
However, interest in electric vehicles is higher than last year, with a net gain of 3.0 per cent.
Sorry? Are we talking about Universal Udder Dairies PLC here? Because if we are not there is no such animal in the fleet market as an electric car. Hybrids, you might like to bear in mind, run on petrol.
Unless, that is, the world of toilet paper merchandising is about to equip its travelling salesmen with milk floats.
