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%).
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.
