“Survey: 10 percent of company passenger car fleets include alternative drives”

German Energy Agency

Alternative drives and fuels play only a minor role in company car fleets, according to a survey by German Energy Agency (dena). “Only 10 percent include such low-emission vehicles [and] only 3 percent have electric vehicles,” writes dena in a press release. Diesel continues to dominate in company business fleets: 57 percent of the fleets consist mainly of diesel cars, only 19 percent do without. “Company fleet managers have a big influence on the passenger car market,” as fleets made up almost two-thirds of newly registered cars, according to Andreas Kuhlmann, dena’s chief executive.
