Asda To Switch To 100% Electric Car Fleet

UK retailer Asda plans to move its entire company car fleet of over 600 vehicles to electric vehicles in the next four years.

The initiative will save over 2,411 tonnes of CO2 emissions, or the equivalent of over six million miles driven by an average petrol car.

Asda added that around 85% of its employees, who opted for a company car as part of their benefits package, chose an electric vehicle over the past year.

It means that all petrol and diesel vehicles will be off its fleet by June 2025, well ahead of the Government’s ban on petrol and diesel vehicles, which comes into effect in 2030.
