The headline registration figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders tell the holistic story: year-to-date, full electric accounts for 14% of total car sales (up from 7.5% in 2021), while diesel is at 5.8% (down by five percentage points).

Dig beneath the surface of the UK’s largest fleet operators and the speed of change from those at the vanguard of the electric revolution is clearly illuminated. 

A Fleet200 Strategy Network (FSN) survey carried out by Fleet News (in 2022) among FSN members and other fleet professionals reveals how respondents have already reduced the diesel mix of their car fleets to 54% - as recently as 2018, Fleet200 figures show this was sitting in excess of 80%.

Full electric accounts for almost 11% (up from 1.9% four years ago) and plug-in hybrid 12.4%.
