The 2023 Fleet200 Strategy Network Electric Vehicle report reveals how quickly fleets have transitioned away from diesel, for the past two decades the fuel option of choice for company car drivers. However, it suggests the rate of change may be slowing.

In the 2022 survey, 54% of company cars were diesel; this year it is just 39%.

Full electric has risen by 10 percentage points, from 9.8% of cars to 19.7%, while plug-in hybrid is also up from 12.4% to 17.2%.

Self-charging hybrid remains virtually unchanged at 4.6%.

However, the rate of transition seems to be slowing, with forward orders painting a different picture.

Last year, diesel accounted for 14% of forward orders; this year it is 13.8%.
