It follows research that shows nearly two thirds of fleet drivers found their mental health has been affected when driving for work during the pandemic.
Younger age groups were most likely to be impacted, with 67% of 18–24-year-olds and 44% of 25–34-year-olds acknowledging their mental health was often affected. Darker days and harsher weather conditions of winter have only added to the strains placed on fleet drivers.

Nearly two-thirds of fleet drivers said their mental health had been affected while driving for work during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to research by leasing company Alphabet GB.
The firm has announced its findings along with the publication of a new mental health resource, designed to help fleet managers prioritise and check their drivers wellbeing.
Alphabet found that young drivers were most likely to report mental health concerns, with 67% of 18-24-year-olds and 44% of 25-34-year-olds affected.
In addition, 50% of overall fleet drivers surveyed said driving this winter had caused their mental health to decline, and 20% said they often looked to reduce travelling in winter months to prevent added anxiety and stress arising from factors such as reduced daylight and poor road conditions.
