Sustainability
Accelerating sustainable mobility
At Inchcape, we enable the adoption of new energy vehicles by creating the conditions for low-emission technologies to thrive.
We continue to welcome new energy vehicles and brands to our global portfolio, providing end-to-end support in rollout, servicing and lifecycle management, adapted to each local market across all powertrain options.
To support this, we invest in upskilling our people to ensure they can offer safe, relevant and customer-centred electric vehicle support. We promote solutions that are both technologically advanced and socially inclusive recognising that affordability, accessibility and infrastructure vary across regions.
“Our success is more than just providing new brands, it's about making sure the market is ready through training, infrastructure and to meet the needs of consumers.”
