The new edition of Trusted Brands in Fleet will be released in May.

Highly Recommended status
Within the Top 100 brands, those that are rated in the top quartile of each category have been designated as Highly Recommended. In a market where many fleets are planning to change suppliers within the next 12 months, this recognition signals something vital: confidence, consistency and credibility.

Why Highly Recommended matters
In today’s fast-moving fleet landscape, trust is a key decision driver. From cost control and compliance to electrification and digitalisation, fleets are seeking partners they can rely on – now more than ever.

Highly Recommended brands represent the best of the best in their category.

The companies listed on this page are the ones that have the best Trust ratings in the fleet industry. Use them to create your shortlist when procuring products and services.
