UK fleet leasing, rental and logistics bodies call for ZEV mandate overhaul in consultation responses
The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) filed a member-backed response to the consultation on the UK's zero-emission car and van sales quotas shortly before it closed last week. Rental members reported weak customer demand, operational barriers and short-term exposure to depreciation, and those representing a majority of the rental car fleet see no viable path to meeting the current 2030 trajectory. The rental sector's top priority is a reduction in the 2030 mandate levels, while leasing companies want confidence in electrification sustained and abrupt policy reversals avoided, as they manage falling residual values.
Why it matters
Pressure to lower 2030 mandate levels could slow fleet electrification and the charging demand that CPOs and installers are planning around. Leasing firms still want policy stability to protect investment, so procurement teams should watch how the government balances the two positions.
