How can the effect of the ongoing chip shortage on fleets be minimised? Read our latest updated article to find out:

Some manufacturers are deleting previously-standard non-essential equipment to keep production going or are offering reduced model ranges. For example, only one version of the Volkswagen ID 3 is available in the UK at the moment. Fleets typically budget for specific lifecycles, and many are having to extend contracts to keep employees on the road.

It’s also important to assess which equipment is vital for drivers and don’t rush to take whatever is available. The Association of Fleet Professionals has warned operators to be wary of 'decontented' models that are missing safety equipment, as these could cause duty of care issues and affect future residual values. There are also opportunities. Manufacturers are working towards strict average CO2 targets for new vehicles this year, so plug-in hybrids are a priority for them.
