Laxus Inc. surveyed 300 fleet managers. Gasoline vehicle ownership in construction is 86.8%, and over half are considering a transition to EV/HV. However, approximately 40% have not determined a disposal plan for their legacy vehicles, with uncertainties in valuation and disposal channels acting as barriers to fleet modernization.

Laxus Inc. conducted a survey on the status of gasoline vehicle ownership, the intention to transition to EVs/HVs, and disposal plans for legacy vehicles, targeting 300 individuals involved in the purchase, management, and sale of corporate vehicles owning two or more fleet cars through its mobility business, 'CarNext'.

Gasoline Vehicle Ownership in Construction is 86.8%, Highest Among 5 Sectors Notably, construction shows the highest gasoline vehicle ownership rate at 86.8%, surpassing transportation (82.1%), manufacturing (66.7%), real estate (57.7%), and agriculture/forestry/fishery/mining (50.0%). In construction, gasoline vehicles remain critical for site travel and transporting materials.

Majority of Construction Sector Considering EV/HV Transition Among gasoline vehicle owners in construction, 53.0% are either 'planning/executing' (25.8%) or 'considering' (27.3%) a transition to EVs/HVs. The primary motivations are 'reduction of fuel and maintenance costs' (80.0%) and 'response to carbon neutrality and social responsibility' (51.4%).

40% Undecided on Legacy Vehicle Disposal Regarding disposal plans for legacy vehicles, among construction managers considering an EV/HV transition, only 42.9% have 'specifically determined disposal methods,' while 40.0% 'have not decided on a method,' and 17.1% 'are not thinking about disposal.' This indecision is driven by the opacity of the exit strategy, with many citing 'not knowing the proper appraisal value' (57.1%) and 'failing to find vendors for bulk disposal' (48.6%) as major obstacles. To facilitate smooth fleet renewal, organizations must establish integrated systems that combine introduction plans with disposal strategies.
