This statistic shows where commercial vehicle fleet operating companies of different sizes source their vehicles in the United Kingdom in 2014. Franchised dealers were clearly the preferred choice for sourcing commercial vehicles, especially among the smaller companies. Almost half of all large (50+ vehicles) fleet operating companies sourced vehicles directly from the manufacturer.
How do you typically source new and used vehicles with a gross vehicle weight over 3.5 tonnes?
*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.
