Benefit from Whole Life Cost

your fleet just got easier with the award-winning
Vauxhall ecoFLEX range. Vehicle CO2 emissions range from
an impressive 105g/km to just 139g/km which can
significantly reduce your carbon footprint as well as
generating significant savings for your business. In
fact, Whole Life Cost savings are as much as £2,310 per
vehicle.
Every model in the extensive ecoFLEX
range also offers your drivers significant BiK tax
savings. Astra ecoFLEX drivers in particular will see
their tax bill drop as much as £360 per year.*1 Now your drivers can
choose a car that is as individual as they are which

needs.
