SOGO Mobility is marking the start of COP28 with discounts on a number of electric vehicles it has available on a flexible lease.
15% discounts are available on four of its most popular EVs to coincide with the global summit, which started in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday (30) November.
The deal includes discounts on monthly leases on the following vehicles, based on 1500 miles per month.*
Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e Quattro S Line 4dr Tiptronic [C+S] for £1,185.75 (usually £1395 per month)
BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport 5dr Auto [Tech/Pro Pack] for £1,185.75 (usually £1385 per month)
KIA Sportage 1.6T GDi HEV GT-Line S 5dr Auto AWD for £488.75 (usually £575 per month)
KIA Xceed 1.5T GDi ISG GT-Line S 5dr DCT for £382.50 (usually £450 per month)
The discounts will be available for the duration of COP28, until 12 December.
At COP21 in 2015, the world agreed to limit global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels by 2050. To tackle the issue and remain on target, emissions must be halved by 2030, leaving only seven years to meet that objective.
SOGO is driving the green motoring transition, and a key element of that is EVs, which feature prominently in its fleet. It believes sustainability is a key driving force when it comes to informing customers’ choice of new vehicles.
SOGO recently achieved Scope 3 emissions, making it one of the first in the mobility sector to secure the environmental benchmark. It has developed a comprehensive range of services that makes moving to an electric or very low-emission vehicle easy. For those instances where an EV isn’t suitable, it helps customers measure, reduce and offset their carbon emissions.
Karl Howkins, managing director of SOGO, says: “COP28 UAE presents a prime opportunity to rethink and refocus the climate agenda. We must fully consider all the ways in which climate change can be tackled effectively, and motoring has a huge role to play here. Short-term leasing is essential to the mass adoption of electric vehicles before 2035, when all new cars and vans powered wholly by petrol and diesel will be banned. Our goal is to provide the industry’s most sustainable vehicle-based mobility solution, customers want choice, and we’ve got to be able to show them different options.”
A key consideration when it comes to choosing a new car is its environmental credentials, along with flexibility in ownership. SOGO reports that it is seeing an increasing number of customers taking out shorter-term leases to match their changing lifestyles. A growing number of motorists opt for one-month to 60-day leases before they opt for a replacement vehicle. The business has also seen an 80% decrease in the number of diesel vehicles in its fleet as customers choose hybrid and BEV options.
