Reliable, sustainable and cost-effective fleet vehicles are the key to councils providing vital services across their communities.
Council employees deliver a wide variety of local services. Often those services need an in-person touch, so dependable and economical transport is critical for staff in roles such as aged and disability care, child and youth support services, and maternal and healthcare services.
With budget pressures on the rise, councils need to source vehicles that meet their operational and sustainability needs without suffering excessive upfront and ongoing costs.
It’s electrifying
When it comes to fleet vehicles, sustainability and cost cutting benefits go hand in hand. By increasing the fuel efficiency of their fleets, councils can find significant savings alongside reduced carbon emissions.
Transitioning to an electric fleet has been proven to greatly reduce fuel consumption, resulting in positive budget and environmental outcomes. However, all-electric vehicles often don’t have the versatility or range to match the demands of council work.
GWM’s Haval H6 GT Plug-in Hybrid SUV is a sophisticated blend of traditional SUV design and cutting-edge hybrid technology which delivers significant fuel efficiency and sustainability, helping councils meet their environmental and budgetary targets while delivering exceptional range and performance. Council staff can rely on the H6 as their primary travel and carpooling vehicle.
Ingenuity in action
At its core, the H6 GT SUV’s plug-in hybrid system features a high-performance two-speed electric rear drive axle, increasing power and acceleration by enhancing wheel-end torque by up to 30 per cent.
The advanced dual-motor setup – incorporating both a generator and a drive motor – ensures seamless power delivery for a smooth, responsive driving experience. Intelligent in its design, the system not only enhances performance but also optimises hybrid efficiency.
Ideal for both urban commutes and rural adventures, the H6 GT boasts a class-leading EV-only range of 180km, complemented by an efficient 1.5-litre petrol engine, extending the total range to over 1,000km*. Say goodbye to range anxiety – this vehicle is built to take you further, making it a perfect choice for demanding applications such as emergency management and disaster resilience planning.
Not only does the H6 GT’s fuel efficiency deliver significant cost savings alongside reduced emissions, but the upfront price of the hybrid vehicle won’t break the bank – a big factor for budget-restricted councils. Additionally, with stock already available in Australia, councils can start upgrading their fleets immediately, with no need for long wait times or delays.
The H6 GT also makes a great company car for employees looking to lease vehicles through their council. By utilising a novated lease, employees can have payments toward the vehicle and its running costs taken directly from their pay before tax, meaning they do not have to pay tax on that portion of their income throughout the year.
With its sophisticated hybrid design delivering exceptional performance, robust fuel efficiency and significant emissions reduction, the Haval H6 GT is an enticing option for councils eager to upgrade their fleet.
