NEW research by Arval identifies hybrids and plug-in hybrids as the key development in fleet acquisition over the next three years.

Not only do UK fleets lead the way towards a hybrid/electric future, the UK is number two for EV adoption plans compared to 12 other European countries.

The research shows that 32% of UK fleets are already using at least one alternative fuelled vehicle, with 25% adopting hybrids, 22% plug-in hybrids and 14% full electric.

Within three years, fleets say that they expect this to rise to 61% overall with 53% hybrid, 46% plug-in hybrid and 42% electric.

Our keynote speech at Conference 2018, delivered by Pod Point’s Head of Insights, James McKemey, will tackle ‘Electrification – what’s happening? Are you prepared for your customers? And how do you transition them to an electrified future?’

This will be followed by a panel discussion with industry experts. These include:

• Mike Potter, Managing Director of FleetDrive, winner of the Best Green Leasing Broker for four successive years;
• Paul Hollick, Managing Director of TMC, and a specialist on business mileage charging for EVs;
• Sylvie Childs, Senior Product Manager at Hyundai, and a specialist in hydrogen;
• Ian Featherstone, Fleet Advice Manager, Energy Saving Trust.

The event takes place on October 02, 2018 at the National Motorcycle Museum. Understanding electrification – BOOK YOUR PLACE!

The Arval report goes on to say that larger fleets are taking the lead in electrification strategies. For example, 4% of those with fewer than 10 vehicles are currently operating an EV compared to 35% of those with more than 50 cars and vans.

Within three years, this is expected to rise to 30% of smaller fleets and 68% of larger ones.

Shaun Sadlier, Head of Arval’s Corporate Vehicle Observatory in the UK, said: “What we are beginning to see emerge here is perhaps the fuel mix of the future. As some fleets start to turn away from diesel, we will start to experience greater use of not just petrol but a range of alternatively fueled vehicles.

“As expected, hybrids and plug-in hybrids are the winners here but, also, more than four out of 10 fleets expect to be operating a fully electric vehicle by 2021, which would mark a huge increase in EV sales compared to today’s levels. Part of this could be prompted by the type of EVs that emerge as, from 2020, we expect to see greatly increased ranges.”
