In July 2024, XPO Logistics launched its UK electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid salary sacrifice car scheme. This exciting programme not only provides employees with new transportation options but also offers significant financial and environmental benefits. Since the launch, this programme has gone from strength to strength, with all employees in the UK and Ireland who drive a car to work participating.

This initiative facilitates benefits by reducing taxable income and supports eco-friendly commuting options, aligning with the organisation’s sustainability goals, particularly its commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. This is a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions and preserving the environment for future generations.

Through this scheme, we reaffirm our commitment to employee welfare and the environment. We provide options that simultaneously benefit our team and the planet. This initiative reflects our core values of innovation, people focus, and sustainability in action at XPO Logistics.

Employees who choose electric or hybrid vehicles help reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, the scheme covers all insurance and maintenance costs for a hassle-free driving experience. This initiative supports personal budgeting and promotes a greener, more sustainable future.

XPO’s initiative combines substantial tax and national insurance (NI) savings with inclusive insurance and maintenance packages. This holistic approach emphasises the organisation’s focus on financial and environmental benefits, making it a leader in employee benefits.
