Between EUR 5 - 5.5 mil. Based on data of ~16,500 cars serviced by LeasePlan the annual cost of damages in 2021 was EUR 5.36 mil.
Parking damages was the most frequent accident type reported by ISS drivers in 2021. Tip: Always reverse park your car. It is safer and will allow you to drive out in a relaxed way!
Driver rear-ended other car. Most of the bodily injuries reported by ISS drivers happened in accidents where the driver crashed into the car in front of them. Tip: Always maintain a safe distance (at least 3 seconds) between your car and the car in front of you and look ahead in order to anticipate what is happening on the road.
5% of the fleet is EV. And this is just the start! ISS has announced you will electrify your global fleet of approximately 20,000 vehicles with the support of LeasePlan by 2030.
Quiet motor. EVs have reduced motor and road noise compared to other vehicles. While this can contribute to a pleasant drive for the drivers, it can present a considerable risk to other road users. Tip: Always stay aware of your surroundings, watch for pedestrians and cyclists who may not be aware of your vehicle moving near them.
Speeding! Driving at a high speed can diminish range significantly. Overall, speeding is an important behaviour to be mindful of whenever on the road. Tip: Drive at a safe speed for the road conditions. If your vehicle has an eco mode, use that for more gentle acceleration and better range.
