Gerry Keaney

Throughout 2022, Gerry continued to lead the BVRLA, which represents over 1,000 companies engaged in vehicle rental, leasing and fleet management. Together, BVRLA members are responsible for a combined fleet of four million cars, vans and trucks. The association works with policymakers, public sector agencies, regulators, and numerous other stakeholders to ensure road transport delivers environmental, social and economic benefits. BVRLA members are leading the charge to decarbonise road transport, set to register 400,000 new battery electric cars and vans per year by 2025, and in 2022 the BVRLA published a new Fleet Charging Guide for local authorities. It also hosted its Fleets in Charge conference, campaigned to keep BIK rates for EVs as low as possible with its #SeeTheBenefit activity, and announced that battery electric now leads petrol to become the most popular fuel type on the BVRLA’s leasing fleet.
