Electric Vehicles: Hire Services

Asked by Shivani RajaConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 25 March 2026UIN 122273

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate she has made of the proportion of electric vehicles in short-term hire fleets used by Government departments.

Answered by Keir Mather

Data on vehicles used by Government departments are collected as part of the Government Fleet Commitment. This includes vehicles hired for 6 days or more. The Government Fleet Commitment data are fed into the Greening Government Commitments, and the most recent published data can be found online at Greening Government Commitments April 2021 to March 2024 report - GOV.UK. However, the data does not break down owned fleet and hired vehicles.
