The vehicle registration document (V5C) showing the qualification as an eco vehicle under the section for ‘fuel classification’. In cases where a vehicle was bought as new during or after 2001 the V5C should automatically show this information. For vehicles registered before 2001 that have undergone conversion and the DVLA have been notified, it will appear on the V5C.
Where the classification is not shown on the V5C we will require documentation confirming that that the vehicle was converted by an approved supplier, as listed in the Transport Energy PowerShift Register maintained by the Energy Saving Trust. For more information go to www.powershift.org.uk or contact the Energy Saving Trust on 0845 602 1425.

If your is vehicle provided by an employer who has a fleet of vehicles on lease, we will accept an original statement of confirmation on headed paper from the lease hire company about the eco vehicle classification.
