The unpredictability of the recent period also rewrote the rules on the company car fleet market: although, surprisingly, the rise in fuel prices was only a minor difficulty for fleet operators, the slow arrival of new cars and the increase in rental fees caused all the more trouble, and in addition, the number of companies that are considering switching to an electric fleet. ALD Automotive | At its annual conference, LeasePlan asked more than 200 business leaders and fleet managers about the challenges they faced in the past year and how they see the trends of the near future in the corporate mobility market.

The biggest challenge for the majority of companies participating in the fleet conference (58%) was the increasing monthly rental fee for new cars. The most significant problem for a third of the companies was the slow arrival of new cars. However, surprisingly, only 5 percent of the respondents considered the fuel price increase to be the biggest recent challenge in the field of fleet management. It is interesting that the biggest difficulty for some companies was the rethinking of vehicle allowance solutions due to the introduction of the home office – this caused a headache especially for larger companies managing more than 100 cars. The ALD | LeasePlan recently published a summary of the financial and employee retention benefits of company cars as a benefit, which can help companies facing HR difficulties in a changed market environment.
