The 2021 fleet sustainability ranking by industry

Every year we look at fleets in 9 industries across 24 European countries to see how well the perform when it comes to their fleet CO2 emissions and share of hybrids, diesel and battery electric vehicles in fleet. Below are some key insights from this year's report and you can download the full report.

The technology industry is this year's best performer, with an improvement of 4 points compared to last year. This industry shows a strong decline in diesel, a large share of BEVs and the highest share of hybrids compared to the other industries.

BEV increase trend continues but hybrids are making a comeback. There has been a renewed push for hybrid vehicles in all industries due to the CO₂ thresholds set by the European Union for car manufacturers in 2020

There's been a decrease in CO₂ across almost all industries. This is due to the increase in BEVs and hybrids. The energy & chemical and financial & professional services industries have the lowest CO₂emissions due to their high share of BEVs.

The three industries showing the most willingness to change their fleet composition and work towards low average fleet CO₂ emissions are the technology, energy & chemicals and financial & professional services. These industries score consistently high on all fleet ranking criteria.
