Under the new WLTP standards, cars will be tested in a more “realistic” way – greater driving situations, longer test distances, higher average and maximum speeds, including optional equipment and more accelerations/decelerations. In particular the VWFS group have continued to be in the news, both in the USA and Europe, as mass-litigation has continued to gather steam. The WLTP introduces a new rigorous form of testing, which replaces the older NEDC testing, which was heavily criticised in light of CO2 and MPG scandals in the recent years. While introduced in September 2017, from September 2018, all new car registrations must adhere to these new standards. What has perhaps been complicating the above is the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Testing Procedure ( WLTP). The interim PHEV and Hybrid models, which were seen as practical cars but with grants, are no longer a cost-effective option. The list of vehicles is still somewhat exhaustive – BMW i3, Hyundai Ioniq electric, Nissan Leaf, Jaguar I-Pace, Tesla Model S and X and VW e-Golf for example. To qualify for this grant, a car must emit less than 50g/km of CO2 and travel at least 70 miles without any emissions. Electric grant reduction – the maximum grant is now only £3,500 for a qualifying vehicle. Even alternative fuels, like PHEV and hybrids, will not be completely affordable andĤ. In a nutshell, the UK Government are continuing to increase the tax which applies to company cars by increasing the thresholds on CO2 for calculation of BIK ratios. For any employee using a company car they will pay Benefit in Kind (BiK) which is based on the car’s CO2, the P11d and the employees income tax status (20/40/45%). Company car tax – having a company car is a benefit to the employee and this is not “free”. This will apply to any accounts produced after Jan 2019 and will only exclude items which are less than 5,000 Euros or less than a 12 month contract ģ. Historically, contract hire vehicles were considered an off-balance sheets and so did not influence the gearing ratio for a company. As of 1 January 2019, the IASB (International Accountancy Standards Board) have introduced a new policy (IFRS 16) so that all current and future lease activity must show ON balance sheet. The rentals allowable for corporation tax are 100% only if the CO2 is 110g/km or less – only certain vehicles meets this criteria Ģ.

The changes in the market have come about for a number of reasons for example:ġ.
#RENAULT CAPTUR 0 9 DRIVER#
The customer here was quite representative of many customers who we now work alongside they were a company car driver that was instead receiving a car allowance ( cash for car) and therefore needed to look for a new personal contract hire deal. As consumer habits have altered dramatically over the last 5 years manufacturers are only continuing to invest into SUV options and petrol engines, as they look to satisfy the demand. With parking for many households becoming more difficult (not everyone has off-road parking), the bigger SUV options in the form of the Kadjar or Koleos would not be most practical.
#RENAULT CAPTUR 0 9 DRIVERS#
The Catpur is equivalent to a Clio in terms of internal cabin space coupled with a higher driving positon this is a small SUV option which is aimed for those drivers who want an elevated driving position for comfort/safety but do not want a car which is too big. One of Renault’s best-selling vehicles, the Captur is an ideal product for the UK automotive market as it fulfils the “SUV-centric” public. We can customise the ECU for any car, van, truck or tractor.Thank you to our local personal lease customer, from Leigh ( Greater Manchester), for visiting the CarLease UK team to collect their brand-new car – the Renault Captur.
#RENAULT CAPTUR 0 9 SOFTWARE#
This engine software is largely responsible for the behaviour of the Renault Captur 0.9 TCE 90hp engine and its fuel consumption. We analyse your vehicle and can adjust the engine management programme, also known as the ECU (Engine Control Unit). This also means that you can change gear earlier, so your Renault engine will run at lower revs and therefore more efficiently. By optimising the torque curve the Renault Captur 0.9 TCE 90hp engine produces more torque at lower RPM. In the case of the Renault Captur 0.9 TCE 90hp engine, our ECU remapping file is tailored for more power and torque, reduced fuel consumption, smoother acceleration and improved throttle response. Our Renault Captur 0.9 TCE 90hp engine remapping file provides the best possible performance and results within the original safety margins. Many Chiptuning companies around the world choose Puretuning for their Renault ECU remapping files. We have years of experience remapping Renault engines to optimise for performance and efficiency. Puretuning is a specialist in Chiptuning petrol and diesel engines for a better performance and more fuel efficiency. Chiptuning for Renault Captur 0.9 TCE 90hp
