Emission Zone and Licensing Considerations
Most LCVs can be driven on a standard category B car licence up to 3.5 tonnes, though heavier conversions can tip into Category C1 territory, so it’s worth checking before you order.
As Clean Air Zones and Low Emission Zones spread across the UK, running a Euro 6 compliant LCV fleet avoids the daily charges non-compliant vehicles face — and with more electric LCVs coming to market, now may be the time to compare running costs against a diesel replacement.

We offer a number of personalised funding solutions for LCVs
LCV Finance for UK Businesses
Hire purchase allows you to obtain the LCVs your business needs and pay for them in increments over a negotiated period.
At the end of the agreed-upon time, you will be offered the option to purchase the asset.
A finance lease works like a loan agreement that allows you to acquire the LCVs your business needs without having to buy them outright.
Coates arranges for a funder to purchase the assets your business needs for you and lease them back to you over a negotiated time period.
An operating lease is an agreement that allows your business to use and operate equipment and machinery without committing to ownership.
The agreed-upon rental term of an operating lease is typically shorter than the life of the asset.
Asset Refinance is an ideal solution for your business if you also use heavy equipment, plant machinery or vehicles.
Also known as a ‘Sale and Leaseback’ or ‘Sale and Hire Purchase back’ agreement, this finance solution allows your company to sell existing vehicles to the lender in return for working capital.
This enables you to still use your assets by leasing them back from us whilst freeing up cash for other purposes.
Secured commercial loan
A secured business or commercial loan is a loan secured against an asset of the borrower, giving them the working capital they need right away.
Unsecured Business Loan
An unsecured business loan allows businesses to obtain essential vehicles without collateral.
