Our Latest Leasing Offers
City Centre Access & Emission Standards
Local council initiatives in Cambridge focus heavily on reduced emissions, pedestrian priority zones and bollard-controlled access windows. Operating an outdated commercial vehicle risks access delays and potential municipal fines.
-
Euro 6 Diesel Fleet Standard: All factory-new diesel commercial vehicles supplied by Silverstone Leasing meet Euro 6 criteria, providing complete compliance with current national emissions guidelines.
-
Electric Transition Guidance: Cambridge actively favours zero-emission transport. We assist local firms with adopting electric models like the Ford E-Transit matching battery ranges with typical daily regional mileage.
Traffic Flow on Main Arterial Roads
The A14, A10 and M11 routes experience heavy rush-hour queuing. Unplanned vehicle breakdowns on these routes disrupt delivery schedules and damage business relationships.
Silverstone Leasing offers fixed-cost maintenance cover within your lease agreement. This connects your business directly with approved main dealers and service facilities across Cambridge, Ely and Huntingdon, keeping vehicle downtime minimal.

Certain central streets enforce timed access windows and bollard controls. Selecting a compact or electric van simplifies maneuvering and parking within these designated delivery zones during permitted hours.
Yes. Leased commercial vehicles can be fitted with corporate graphics, protective ply-lining, internal shelving units and additional security locks. All additions must be safely removed without damaging the paintwork or body structure prior to returning the vehicle.
