of all industries using at least 10 corporate vehicles QUOTAS SAMPLE DURATION OF INTERVIEWS Company

4 4 Methodology DATA COLLECTION METHOD FIELDWORK PERIOD TARGET CATI System (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) JANUARY FEBRUARY Fleet managers in companies with at least 10 employees of all industries using at least 10 corporate vehicles QUOTAS SAMPLE DURATION OF INTERVIEWS Company size & sector interviews including through Europe and 624 out of Europe 10 minutes in average

Companies with 10 to 99 employees 60 interviews Companies with 100 to 249 / 499 / 999 employees 85

5 5 Sample This year, the perimeter of the survey is slightly different. We interviewed companies with at least 10 employees and owning at least 10 vehicles. Companies with 10 to 99 employees 60 interviews Companies with 100 to 249 / 499 / 999 employees 85 interviews Companies with 250 / 500 / employees and more 55 interviews Less than 100 employees More than 100 employees 140 interviews

6 6 Context Effect of the crisis: in 2008, stagnation of new car registrations (growth rate limited to +1.4%) followed by a decline in 2009 (- 7.8%). The volumes recovered to their pre-crisis level in 2010 for passenger cars segment and in 2011 for the LCV market. In 2012, moderate increase of +2.9% for passenger cars and +0.8% for the LCV segments - that year, GDP growth only came in at 1.1% versus 1.8% and 3% during the previous years part of the PCs sales at the end of the year were certainly led by client anticipations that the new taxes penalizing vehicles that emit a lot of CO2 would be put into place : In 2 years, the passenger car segment market nosedived by 8%. This decrease in new registration is likely to be related to the sanction payments introduce for CO2-intentsive cars. To be noticed that despite two years of decline in a row, the sales volumes remain above those of the 2002 to 2010 period. 2015: Despite a low GDP growth rate registered (+0.7% in 2015 versus +1.9% in 2014 and +1.8% in 2013), the passenger cars sales volume increased by 7.2% and the LCV by 7.6% : For the two coming years, OECD expects an increase of the GPD of 1.1% in 2016 and 1.6% in 2017 (but still below 2013 and 2014 level).

7 7 Main results Overall, the companies in Switzerland are optimistic regarding the growth potential of their fleets, particularly amongst very large companies. In Switzerland, fleet managers perceived that usage period has particularly increased for PCs and LCVs, more than in other European countries. In Switzerland, the proportion of diesel vehicles is lower than in other European countries, and fleet managers expect this proportion to remain steady in the next 5 years. In Switzerland, Electric vehicle is the main technology developed, strongly more developed and considered to be developed in the next 5 years, than other European countries. Switzerland is a leader regarding this technology. Self purchase is the main financing method in Switzerland; strongly more used than other European countries In Switzerland, the use of Telematics is much lower than other European countries. As well as other European countries, Telematics are mostly used as a vehicle locator/tracker. Overall, the interest in Mobile apps is quite low in Switzerland compared with Europe. However, about half of fleet managers are interested in apps that send alerts about fleet vehicles conditions and reminds you when you have to renew them. The attractiveness of a service using Telematics in order to reduce fleet costs is on par with other European countries.

8 8 Main results Compared to Europe, options available to improve safety are more often considered as useful but not essential regarding both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. In Switzerland, the main options to improve safety are Autonomous emergency brake, Adaptive cruise control and Adaptive Half of the fleet managers think the autonomous cars will solve safety issues which is slightly higher than Europe. Also, more than half of the fleet managers think their employees will easily accept to use autonomous vehicle, much higher in Switzerland compared to Europe. As well as other European countries, car sharing appears to be a solution that could expand in companies. The youngest generation should more easily accept car sharing.
