Achieve Up to 60% Energy Savings with GA VSDs – Your Efficient Air Compressor Solution
The “s” in VSDˢ does not stand for “sustainability,” but it might as well. The new air compressor series from Atlas Copco offers significant energy savings, up to 60%, which can help reduce your operating costs and carbon footprint.
Compressing air requires substantial energy, and the VSDˢ series is designed to make a noticeable difference in energy consumption. Beyond energy efficiency, the VSDˢ series was developed with sustainability in mind, aligning with your company's climate goals.
Did you know it is now possible to make the move to a VSDˢ compressor without purchasing it outright?
Atlas Copco, along with our finance partner BPCE Equipment Solutions UK Limited (BPCE)*, offers attractive finance deals to give you different payment options for your equipment, including hire purchase and fixed-term rental. We can quickly prepare a proposal so that you can decide how to finance your new compressed air system.
Once you have decided which finance option works best for you, our sales team will send you a quotation within one day. After you accept the quotation and your credit information has been received, it generally takes only two days to get approval from BPCE**, after which the documents will be sent to you for signature, and the chosen finance option will commence.
Hire purchase: How it works
An agreement allowing you (the customer) to ‘hire’ the asset from SGEF (the Lessor) for an agreed term, in return for regular repayments. ‘Title’ (or ownership) is retained by SGEF until the final payment is made along with a normal ’Option to Purchase’ fee.
FEATURES
- Ownership at the end of the agreement subject to a nominal ‘Option to Purchase’ fee
- As the full VAT amount is due on commencement of the agreement the repayments are not subject to VAT
- ‘On balance sheet’ financing agreement
- Capital Allowances can be claimed
- Payment structure agreed at the outset for easy budgeting
- Repayments can be matched to cash flow and/or income stream
END OF TERM OPTIONS FOR THE CUSTOMER
- Ownership can pass to the lessee upon payment of a nominal ‘Option to Purchase’ fee and/or income stream.
Fixed term rental: How it works
An agreement allowing you (the Lessee) to ‘use’ the asset for an agreed term in return for regular repayments. ‘Title’ (or ownership) is retained by Societe Generale Equipment Finance (the Lessor)
Operating Leases may be ‘off balance sheet’ for some customers dependent on the accounting standards adopted by the customer.*
* This information is only relevant to those reporting under FRS 102 and not captured by the reporting requirements of IFRS 16.
FEATURES
- Lower repayments than a Finance Lease as they are based on the asset cost over the lease term and assume a ‘Residual Value’ of the asset
- Rental and return conditions are known at the outset
- Removes disposal process
- Removes risk of asset depreciation
- Low capital outlay
- Off balance sheet’ financing as rentals may be treated as an OPEX rather than CAPEX
- Depending upon the asset type and term, you customer may be able to offset the rental payments against your taxable profit*
- VAT is payable on the rentals, not on the purchase price of the equipment
- Repayments can be matched to cash flow and/or income stream
- We are also able to collect and distribute services and/or repair & maintenance payments enabling you the customer to manage the costs with one rental payment
* Please refer to your Account of Financial Advisor for confirmation.
END OF TERM OPTIONS FOR THE LESSEE
- Retain – agree extension rentals for another agreed term
- Return – hand back the equipment to us

Fixed speed compressors have been subject to the usual price increase going into the new year, but we have held down the VSD prices.
This is another contribution towards making it easier for manufacturers to reduce energy consumption and their CO2 emissions.
