The continued disruption in the supply of vehicles to the fleet sector is restricting business growth, according to the latest BVRLA insights. In the latest Business Impact Survey, the vast majority of BVRLA members listed supply issues as their primary concern, while 71% say lack of vehicle availability will negatively impact future performance (1).

As its membership hits a new high, the BVRLA is investing in training, research and public affairs to ensure the industry responds to an unprecedented wave of regulatory and legislative change. The association wants to build on the great strides made in 2021, where it put the fleet and mobility services industry at the centre of the decarbonisation debate and saw record levels of participation in its training courses and events.

The BVRLA has launched a new initiative to help local authorities as they try to meet the diverse charging needs of electric fleets. With the roll-out of charging infrastructure increasingly being devolved to local government, the association’s new ‘Fleet Charging Guide’ highlights some key fleet use cases and how they can best be supported on their zero-emission journey.

The 2021 edition of the BVRLA's annual Road to Zero Report Card not only assesses progress towards zero emission fleets in terms of EV supply, EV demand and charging infrastructure, but also for the first time compares progress for cars, vans and trucks.

The BVRLA Fleet Sustainability Credentials show that the rental and leasing sectors are already leading the transition to cleaner transport. 100% of rented, leased and car club cars are Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) compliant and 99% of rented vans (96% of leased vans) are as well.

Ofgem is carrying out a review which could result in a fairer process being introduced for those investing in the connections needed to install EV charge points.

Findings from the BVRLA’s latest Business Impact Survey show that, although the vehicle rental and leasing industry is optimistic about economic recovery, there is widespread concern about vehicle supply, for vans in particular.
