The start point for the best source of fleet information |
The technology industry remains the one with the most sustainable car fleets, according to research by ALD Automotive | Leaseplan.
The newly-merged leasing operation has published the latest edition of the Fleet Sustainability Ranking by Industry report, which compares industries across 22 European countries based on four factors: the share of diesel; the share of EVs; the share of hybrids; and the average CO2 emission per kilometre.
The tech industry has come out on top for the third year in a row, helped by having the lowest CO2 emissions and the lowest share of diesel, as well as the second-highest share of EVs and hybrids.
According to the report, the share of EVs across all industries has more than doubled during the last two years, while the share of hybrids has mostly flattened, and the share of diesels has halved. Average CO2 emissions have also dropped across the board.
Behind technology, the next highest ranked industry was financial and professional services, followed by energy and chemicals, industrial, automotive, consumer goods, construction, and bottom-ranked healthcare and pharma.
ALD | Leaseplan UK managing director Alfonso Martinez said: "It's encouraging to see such healthy progress being made across Europe as businesses come together to tackle the climate crisis and industry-related carbon emissions.
"I would particularly like to commend those working within the technology industry for stepping onto the global stage as a leading player in decarbonising fleet emissions through EV adoption.
"As an EV100 founding member, ALD Automotive | LeasePlan is committed to accelerating the rollout of electric driving across all industries. It is our mission to support all fleet-operating businesses with their transition towards more sustainable mobility solutions.
"We hope that by shining a spotlight on all the hard work that's taken place over the past two years within our industries, we can inspire every business to commit to more ambitious progress in the name of our precious planet."
