Polish Companies Plan to Grow Vehicle Fleets, Boost Electric Car Share

A May 2026 EFL survey of Polish firms shows that 36% intend to increase the size of their vehicle fleets within the next 12 months, while half (50%) plan to keep fleet numbers stable and only 6% aim to reduce them. Larger organisations (250+ employees) are more active, with 53% planning partial fleet renewal, compared with 28% of small‑to‑medium enterprises.

Reliability is the top criterion for vehicle choice, cited by 83% of respondents, followed by purchase price, warranty terms, service availability, financing and total cost of ownership. Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a distant concept: 37% of surveyed companies already have EVs in their fleets, and 16% intend to raise the EV share over the coming year. An additional 27% are considering EV adoption, though range anxiety, charging time and high purchase costs remain the main obstacles.

Robert Dudziński, sales director at Carefleet (EFL Group), highlighted that volatile fuel prices linked to geopolitical developments are prompting firms to weigh EVs more seriously, noting that "electromobility makes the most sense when it is calculated, not just declared."
