The latest survey by Arval suggests just over half (50%) of vans and a little over a quarter (28%) of UK company cars are predicted to be petrol or diesel power alone by 2025, Fleet decision-makers expect electric to be the dominant powertrain within three years. 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%. Arval found the view is consistent across companies of all sizes according to their data – from those with fewer than 10 employees to those with more than 1,000 – and there is an expectation that electrification will happen at speed and across all vehicle types.
