A GXO Logistics report finds:
64% of UK businesses want to reduce fleet emissions
87% say emissions reduction is a key priority
But most don’t know how to turn ambition into action

time
expertise
access to consultants
understanding of home charging
clarity on commercial models
confidence to invest
