With the cost of fuel rising, more businesses are looking to use hybrid vehicles and plug-in vehicles, potentially saving thousands of pounds a year. Car manufacturers have heavily invested in electric and hybrid vehicles over recent years, improving their quality and range. Here is five reasons why you should consider a green vehicle in 2017:

1. The cost of petrol and diesel has risen to an all-time high and expectations are that petrol prices are set to rise to 125p per litre by the end of February due to a weaker sterling and higher demand on oil. An electric or plug-in vehicle could save you £750 on average in fuel bills.
2. Road Tax: with Vehicle Excise Duty being calculated on CO2 emissions from the first of April 2017 – electric vehicles and zero emission vehicles has never been more appealing.
3. Garage bills: servicing and maintenance is on average £94 for a pure electric car in comparison to £400 for a diesel or petrol car.
4. Local perks: councils across the UK are aiming to create better air quality and there are a variety of incentives in place to push businesses toward electric vehicles including not paying a congestion charge in London or free parking. Check with your local council and see what’s available in your area.
5. Better for the environment: a recent survey highlighted that the UK’s air pollution levels are high and above the recommended level. This will inevitably endanger children and those with lung diseases. Driving a zero-emission car will help the environment and improve the air quality in your community.

Motorists are warned to be careful as thieves have been using key lock jammers to prevent locking their car remotely.
The jamming devices, which can be bought online for as little as £50, will give the car thieves access to your car by interrupting the signal when trying to lock your car remotely. The thieves will wait in car parks for you to go and lock your car. You may return to the unpleasant surprise that you have been robbed of your valuables.  There have been several cases around the country involving cars, vans and lorries where laptops, tools, suitcases, wallets and money were stolen without any sign of breakage. The thefts often leave motorists vulnerable as insurers refuse to pay without any clear visible damage to the vehicle.

Tony Poole, director at CVSL says: ‘’It worries me to see that these crimes are on the rise. My advice to all motorists would be make sure to check that your car is locked, as well as keeping valuables out of sight. It also worth checking your insurance policies.’’
