7 How are fleets maximising EV benefits?
Our survey shows fleets are reaping the benefits of going electric. Most (88%) said they had reduced their CO2 emissions, while a third (33%) added that they are benefitting from lower operating costs. Smarter energy usage has also become more common, up from 47% of fleets with depot charging in 2024, to 64% this year. Fleets who were already using these solutions were more likely to have reduced their CO2 emissions (91%) and significantly more likely to report cost savings too (58%).
Four in five (79%) decision-makers said their organisation is developing a net zero policy or has one in place
8 How are businesses engaging with Net zero?
The UK is on a pathway to becoming a net zero CO2 economy in 2050, and businesses’ environmental impact is under ever-greater scrutiny. Four in five (79%) decision-makers said their organisation is developing a Net zero policy or has one in place. Although that’s similar to last year (75%), there was a notable rise among medium (85%, up from 74%) and small (61%, up from 47%) businesses.
9 What information do fleets need?
Net zero targets can also indirectly impact fleets. Larger organisations are increasingly reporting Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions, putting pressure on suppliers to reduce their environmental impact too.
Three-quarters (76%) of respondents said it had come up in conversations and tenders, while the majority expect their fleet management software to generate automated, auditable reports to support this.
Asked how critical that functionality is:
10 What is influencing fleets’ EV strategies?
With unwavering targets and long-term incentives for phasing out combustion engines, fleets are confident about the road ahead.
Almost all (99%) fleets expect to increase (84%) or maintain (15%) their share over the next five years. Asked what was influencing
that process, fleets highlighted similar factors to last year, but with notable trends away from cost, choice and CO2 targets.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE FLEETS THAT TOOK PART IN OUR SURVEY
