June 5, 2022 – GM’s fleet team says it has taken 85,000 reservations for the new Silverado EV truck, with interest coming from almost 370 companies. Part of the increase in interest relates to the facts that fleet buyers just need to keep new vehicles coming.
General Motors’ fleet volume saw declines as the pandemic and microchip shortage took their toll, but the automaker reported a 7% increase in fleet penetration in the first quarter of this year over the same period last year.
The Silverado EV RST, a range-topping luxurious variant, sold out in just 12 minutes and there are well over 140,000 reservations for the truck to date. That demand, coupled with Chevy’s innovative features for the new trucks, should ensure sustained interest from fleet and retail buyers alike.
