The UK has been named one of the world’s most advanced countries for corporate fleet electrification, according to a new report from Climate Group in partnership with New AutoMotive.
The EV100 Transition Barometer, released today, identifies 13 leading markets, including the UK, Norway, China and Ethiopia, where the rollout of zero-emission company fleets is increasingly viable.
The report underpins the relaunch of EV100, Climate Group’s coalition of more than 120 major companies committed to transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs).
Collectively, members have already deployed over 700,000 EVs, with many firms having electrified more than half their fleets.
EV100’s new commitment structure moves away from a single 2030 deadline and instead introduces regional timelines and segment-based targets to better reflect operational realities across different markets.
Dominic Phinn, head of transport at Climate Group, said: “The relaunched EV100 is leading the global charge to get the EV transition done.
“Our members are forward-thinking companies who understand the competitive advantage of early adoption. We all know where we’re heading: road transport will be cleaner, healthier, and smarter. The winners are those who’ll get there first.”
The barometer scores 39 global markets based on policies, infrastructure and EV uptake. A second tier of emerging fleet electrification markets includes India, Thailand, Chile and Colombia.
Key indicators used in the assessment include national EV sales, charging infrastructure rollout, and supportive fiscal and regulatory frameworks.
Ben Nelmes, CEO of New AutoMotive, said: “The EV100 Transition Barometer shows just how much momentum, and potential, there is in the global landscape for fleet electrification.
“Companies operating in markets with the most comprehensive and supportive policies will unlock a productivity boost.
“Companies operating in markets that are still getting ready for electrification should be reassured that progress is possible and likely as governments increasingly put in place support for charging infrastructure and incentives to support commercial fleets to go electric.”
