There were some important pointers to future government policy toward fleets in today’s budget. Fleets will get the chance to have their say on diesel taxation in the coming months, ahead of what could be big changes in the Autumn statement.

It may have looked like a quiet budget, fleet wise, but there is a lot in it for business strategists to think about.
