Van CO2 Database Criticised
The Department for Transport's recently launched van CO2 database has come under criticism from the British Vehicle Rental & Leasing Association (BVRLA).
The database provides information on CO2 emissions, alongside gross vehicle weight, load length and miles per gallon for small, medium and large vans, but makes no provision for payload.
John Lewis, Chief Executive, BVRLA, said: 'In our view and that of the major van purchasers – such as BT Fleet – the payload information is vital in terms of determining whether the van you are choosing to purchase is fit for purpose.'
The BVRLA has written to Secretary of State for Transport, Lord Adonis, highlighting the omission and asking for an investigation into the feasibility of including payload information.
