The latest data from the BVRLA shows that membership numbers continued to rise during 2019, ending the year with 1,007 organisations in membership, up 2% on the previous year.
2019 saw more rental, leasing & fleet management, commercial vehicle and associate members joining the BVRLA family and the association also welcomed members to its new Fleet Operator category. Leasing broker numbers reduced slightly, largely due to consolidation in the sector.
BVRLA Chief Executive Gerry Keaney said: “We are delighted to have seen another year of growth at the BVRLA, in what has been a difficult year for the wider automotive industry.”
The total BVRLA fleet size grew modestly during 2019, with members collectively responsible for just over 5.1 million vehicles, up 2% year-on-year.
Cars continue to be the most dominant vehicle type on fleet, up 1.5% at over 4.1 million. The number of vans and trucks on fleet also continues to grow, with both the LCV and HGV fleet sizes increasing by 4% and 1.5% respectively.
