Element Fleet shares insights on trends in fleet, mobility through 2035

Element Fleet (ELEEF) Management released “The Great Mobility Shift: The Next Era of Automotive Transformation”, a global whitepaper assessing how technology, policy, and consumer behavior are redefining global mobility through 2035. Drawing on insights from more than a dozen global thought leaders – including academic experts from Stanford University, the University of Toronto, the University of Sydney, and Ontario Tech University – and data spanning more than 30 countries, the whitepaper analyzes the road ahead through the lens of technology, trust, and transformation. It offers actionable insights for fleet and corporate leaders, Original Equipment Manufacturers, and policymakers navigating the decade of disruption ahead. Four mobility forces defining the next decade: Autonomous vehicles: Lower costs, safer operations, and higher utilization make the business case strong, but broad adoption will depend on consistent regulation and public trust. Artificial intelligence: Already powering predictive analytics, safety systems, and digital twins across connected fleets, AI’s next leap will come as platforms integrate seamlessly across vehicles, infrastructure, and energy systems. Alternative energy: Electric Vehicles are shifting from early adoption to mainstream and are forecasted to account for 55 per cent of new light-duty vehicle sales globally by 2035. Mobility-as-a-Feature: The evolution of Mobility-as-a-Service will embed mobility into daily life – from housing and healthcare to logistics – turning access into a seamless, integrated experience.
