Answered by Mike Kane
The Government Car Service (GCS) offers vehicles to government departments as a shared resource. Each department independently determines the allocation of these vehicles to its ministerial cadre/officials.
The Department for Transport is currently allocated 1 x Hybrid Land rover Discovery Sport, 2 x Electric Jaguar I-Pace and 1 x Hybrid Ford Mondeo. These vehicles were not purchased in the 2024-25 financial year and were provided from the existing fleet. Cabinet Office is responsible for the management of the Government Car Service.
