This statistic shows the distribution of commercial vehicle fleet ownership types in the United Kingdom in 2013, by fleet size. Half of all commercial vehicle fleet operating companies' vehicles had been acquired from new without a hire or lease contract. The smaller companies tended to have vehicles from a spread of different ownership plans, with a higher percentage of second-hand vehicles than the larger companies.
To approximately how many vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes) do the following ownership conditions apply?
(by fleet size)
*50% of the sample companies have 5-25 vehicles in the fleet; 25% of the sample have 26-50 vehicles and 25% of the sample have more than 51 vehicles. While this does not follow the pattern of licence holders in the UK precisely, it does reflect the disproportionate buying power of the larger fleets.
