Choosing the Electric Category Under a Company Travel Policy

Updated 3 min read

A growing number of company travel policies ask travellers to choose electric ground transport where it's available, and as a travel or sustainability manager, you're usually the one who has to check whether a supplier's claims actually stand up before writing them into policy. It's a fair thing to check, so here's exactly what we can and can't say about our Electric category.

This guide covers the honest claim we make about the Electric category, and what happens on a booking when it isn't the category that ends up being sent.

What we can say, and mean precisely

The Electric category is fully electric, with no local exhaust — that's a specific, provable claim about the vehicle itself, and it's the one we make. It's not a claim about the vehicle's whole life cycle, its manufacturing footprint, or the electricity grid it's charged from, because none of that is something we can substantiate, and a wider claim wouldn't hold up.

What we don't claim, and why

You won't find the Electric category described in broader environmental terms anywhere on the site — nothing about the category's overall footprint being neutral, or the trip itself being free of any impact at all. Once battery manufacturing and the wider energy picture are accounted for, language that sweeping stops being accurate, so we don't use it — if a travel policy is checking suppliers against that kind of broader wording, ours is deliberately narrower, and that narrowness is the point.

This isn't a gap in our marketing so much as a decision: a claim we can't stand behind under scrutiny isn't one we'll make just because it reads well in a policy document. "Fully electric, no local exhaust" is the version we can defend indefinitely, which matters more to a policy that's actually checked than one that isn't.

Writing this into a travel policy

If your policy asks travellers to select an electric option where offered, "fully electric, no local exhaust" is the exact language worth using to describe what the category actually is — specific enough to be checked, and accurate for as long as the vehicle itself remains what it is.

Choosing the Electric category at booking

Select Electric as the vehicle category when you book, the same way you'd select Standard, Business, SUV/XL or Minibus — it carries the same passenger and luggage capacity as Standard and Business, so choosing it doesn't mean compromising on space for a typical business trip.

If Electric isn't offered for your route

Vehicle categories are shown for the specific route and time you're booking, and Electric may not always appear as an option depending on availability. If your policy requires you to record why an electric option wasn't chosen, that's a reasonable thing to note against the booking — contact us if you need confirmation of availability for a specific date before you travel.

Questions people ask before booking

Can we describe the Electric category using broader environmental language in our travel policy?

We'd suggest not — we only claim the Electric category is fully electric with no local exhaust. Wider claims about its overall footprint aren't ones we make, because they don't hold up once manufacturing and the broader energy picture are included.

What exactly does 'no local exhaust' mean?

It means the vehicle itself produces no tailpipe emissions while driving — a specific, checkable fact about the car, distinct from broader claims about its full environmental footprint.

Does choosing Electric mean less luggage or passenger space?

No — the Electric category carries the same passenger and luggage capacity as our Standard and Business categories.

Can travellers choose Electric on every booking?

Select it as the vehicle category when booking, the same way as any other category, for routes where it's offered.

Where can we point to this claim for a supplier audit?

The claim — fully electric, no local exhaust — is the exact wording used consistently, so it can be checked against the category as stated wherever it appears.
