Our Mobility Growth Expert, Abishek Narayanan Srinivasan, attended the Fleet & Mobility Live 2025 at the NEC Birmingham — an event that is shaping the dialogue around the future of mobility. Bringing together leading OEMs, leasing providers, digital innovators, and sustainability experts, the event showcased how the global mobility ecosystem is transforming into a connected, electrified, and data-driven network of solutions.
Mobility Ecosystems Are Converging
The fleet management segment is no longer defined by vehicles alone; it is evolving into an interconnected ecosystem that combines electrification, data intelligence, finance innovation, and human engagement. Across the exhibition floor, industry leaders such as Ayvens, Holman, Novuna, and Samsara demonstrated how technology, sustainability, and user experience are converging to redefine the mobility value chain.
We observed that this convergence is not linear; it is systemic. Fleets are becoming platforms where technology, data, and human behavior interact to create more resilient, sustainable, and adaptive mobility systems.
Electrification Is Moving from Vision to Execution
Electrification continues to dominate the global mobility agenda. The electric mobility industry is moving from planning electric to operating electric. Fleet managers are addressing practical realities such as charging infrastructure, downtime optimization, and driver readiness. Every conversation at the event reaffirmed that the next stage of the electric vehicle (EV) transition is about execution excellence — where analytics, charge-management systems, and predictive maintenance are ensuring uptime and productivity.
As electrification moves from vision to execution, how is your company turning operational readiness into a competitive growth advantage?
Frost & Sullivan continues to help organizations develop data-driven electrification roadmaps that optimize total cost of ownership, integrate renewable energy sources, and support driver behavior change programs to make electrification operationally viable.
From Data Overload to Data Intelligence
Every vehicle, telematics device, and mobile app is producing continuous data streams. Yet, many fleet operators are struggling to convert this data into actionable intelligence. At the Fleet & Mobility Live, innovators such as Samsara, Netradyne, and Targa Telematics showcased how video telematics, behavioral analytics, and AI-driven dashboards are transforming safety and efficiency.
We are witnessing a decisive shift from data collection to data interpretation. The next frontier of value lies in using AI to predict risk, personalize driver training, and unlock operational efficiency. Companies that invest in mobility analytics platforms are positioning themselves to lead in the era of connected mobility.
Through our interactive Fleet Leasing & Rental Growth Generator platform, Frost & Sullivan empowers OEMs, leasing companies, and fleet management firms with robust industry intelligence to benchmark performance, optimize fleet composition, and forecast electrification and megatrends with precision. Our insights equip leadership teams to uncover new growth opportunities, anticipate industry dynamics, and define long-term strategic priorities with confidence.
New Finance Models Are Redefining Mobility Economics
The revival of salary-sacrifice schemes for EVs is driving rapid adoption in corporate fleets, while short-term and multi-cycle leasing models are offering flexibility and risk mitigation in uncertain conditions.
Frost & Sullivan works with mobility providers, leasing firms, and corporates to design flexible asset strategies that align capital efficiency with sustainability goals. These models are helping businesses redeploy vehicles, manage EV residual values, and adapt quickly to changing usage patterns, turning mobility into a dynamic, continuously optimized service.
The Fleet Manager is Becoming a Mobility Strategist
The traditional fleet manager is evolving into a mobility strategist — a role that spans technology, finance, HR, and sustainability. Organizations are embedding data analysts, sustainability officers, and experience designers into mobility teams to transform operational decisions into strategic levers.
The leading companies are creating cross-functional mobility ecosystems, where insights from telematics, employee engagement, and sustainability metrics are integrated into one unified decision-making framework.
How will you capture the next wave of transformation in the mobility industry?
Emerging Growth Segments in Mobility
The event highlighted several growth opportunities redefining the mobility value chain:
- Vehicle Movement and Delivery Services – Digital-first players such as Cafler, DriveMe, and Engineius are transforming fleet logistics through driver-to-vehicle delivery models.
- Video Telematics and Driver Analytics – AI-enabled vision and behavioral analytics, driven by innovators like Samsara, Netradyne, and Targa Telematics, are enhancing safety, productivity, and insurance efficiency.
- Micro-Mobility and eBike Subscriptions – Companies like Blike and Brompton are promoting subscription-based e-bike programs ; last-mile urban mobility solutions.
Each of these segments continues to open new growth opportunities for technology providers, fleet operators, and investors seeking to build adaptive, data-driven, and customer-centric mobility solutions.
The Hydrogen Perspective
While battery-electric remains the mainstream choice for light commercial vehicles, hydrogen is emerging as a complementary pathway for heavy-duty and long-haul applications.
Frost & Sullivan is closely tracking the evolution of hydrogen infrastructure, cost parity trends, and hybrid energy ecosystems that will define the future of decarbonized logistics.
Innovation That Feels Human
A highlight moment — the Mr Bean Mini EV conversion by Novuna and Fellten — captures the industry’s spirit: preserving heritage while embracing innovation. This mindset continues to define the evolution of mobility — where emotion, design, and technology coexist to create experiences that are both nostalgic and forward-looking.
Leading Through Data Intelligence and Collaboration
As global mobility continues to transform, the message is clear — the future belongs to companies that act today with data, agility, and strategic collaborations. The leaders of tomorrow are those embedding intelligence across their mobility operations, leveraging partnerships across ecosystems, and aligning every decision with sustainability and user experience.
Frost & Sullivan helps companies identify growth opportunities, build data-driven strategies, and lead the next wave of mobility transformation.
