Liquid Fleet reports 28% growth in 2026
Liquid Fleet has reported fleet growth of 28% in the first six months of the year, driven by rising demand for short-term leases.
The company has also launched a dedicated LCV sales division which is increasing its market presence in the 12-24 months lease arena.
It now aims to increase its fleet to 5,000 vehicles by 2028.
Martin Potter, Liquid Fleet commercial director, said: “The first half of 2026 has been very positive for us, and we continue to experience a growth in demand for short-term leasing from corporates as they avoid making too many long-term contractual commitments around their car fleet.
“The demand from rental brokers has also increased as they experience strong and increased demand for short term vehicles.
“Overall business sentiment is quietly optimistic with everyone still spending and investing whilst keeping a very close eye on cost control, and that includes the OEMs.”
Growth potential
He added: “We continue to build our national growth potential by increasing the size of our sales team and we have strong relationships with OEMs that provide access to a wide range of new cars to satisfy a growth in demand.
“At a used level, the early Chinese cars we purchased are generating strong residuals and we have already committed to an even larger number of similar vehicles to add to our fleet.
“Meanwhile, the interest in EVs continues to rise in the corporate sector while the rental sector is receiving EV enquiries from renters which shows the EV market continues to make progress.”
