2nd Gen R60 Countryman Yell does MINI Countryman deal

Found this in the business wire and thought it was interesting to see that there are companies in the UK buying fleets of MINIs. The Yell Group is the leading provider of classified advertising and associated products and services in the UK.

Yell will upgrade its fleet of 50 pool cars to Mini Countrymans in the UK’s largest single fleet order for the model, following whole-life cost analysis by leasing firm, Alphabet.

The deal, for which Alphabet is also Yell’s funding partner, will save Yell £49,000 in whole-life costs over three years compared with its current Toyota Auris pool fleet.

It will also cut Yell’s carbon footprint by over 200 tonnes across the duration of the contract, with the 64.0mpg Countrymans offering an estimated 31% increase in fuel-efficiency.
