Lex Autolease southern area auction manager Robert Sturley said:
“We are very aware of our responsibilities to the environment, as
are our customers, and as the largest UK contract hire provider we
feel we have a responsibility to develop and enhance the used car
hybrid sales market.”
Alan Gupwell, BCA corporate account manger for Lex Autolease,
added: “This sale addresses the key issue of supply affecting the
hybrid market, because we typically don’t see high numbers of these
cars reaching the used market.
“It will come as no surprise to anyone involved in used cars
that with continuing high fuel prices and other economic pressures,
motorists are looking very carefully at the running costs of their
vehicles. General demand for low-emission, high-MPG hybrid
cars is correspondingly high, and we expect to see significant
levels of buyer interest in this sale.”
