Fleet and mobility decision makers were asked, “What percentage of your fleet will be either petrol or diesel in three years?” and results show that they expect electrification of their vehicle fleets to happen at speed.

Shaun Sadlier, Head of Arval Mobility Observatory in the UK, said: “Looking three years ahead takes us to 2025 and, by that point in time, the research shows that fleet operators expect electrified vehicles to dominate their fleets.

The UK results are also ahead of 19 other European countries surveyed – where the number of cars using petrol or diesel is expected to be 52% and vans 64%.
