Royal Mail remains the largest private sector fleet in the Fleet200 and the overall largest fleet in the Fleet200 with 46,690 cars and vans (slightly down from 47,300 last year).
Collectively, the 102 private sector organisations which feature in this year’s Fleet200 operate 253,816 cars and vans, with an average fleet size of 2,488. It is not possible to make a direct comparison with last year’s survey as the make-up of the Fleet200 is not identical with 115 private sector organisations responding in 2019.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is also not yet fully reflected in the responses. The Fleet200 survey was conducted between mid-March and June this year, before it was announced that the UK was in recession.
