Fleets may need to take measures to deal with the effects of global vehicle production issues, according to the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP).
Several major manufacturers have been affected by a shortage of semiconductors - a vital component in modern vehicle making - causing some factory shutdowns and delivery delays.
AFP director Denise Lane said that the issue had been rumbling in the background for some time, but was now starting to affect vehicle production on a day-to-day basis.
She said: Some manufacturers have already sent out messages to fleets listing which models are likely to be in reduced supply and, for some operators, there are very clearly going to be potential problems with getting hold of the vehicles they need.
