Commercial fleets propped up fleet sales in February, showing the largest gains of the three fleet sectors, according to monthly fleet sales figures released by Bobit Business Media on March 3. 

Rental fleet sales rose more slowly, and government fleet sales declined. Overall, February figures still showed increases, following double-digit gains in fleet sales in 2025.

Sales gains in the three fleet segments for February 2026 were as follows:

• Commercial fleet sales rose to 70,044 vehicles last month, up from 61,368 in February 2025, a 14.1% increase.

• Rental fleet sales rose 1.1% for the month, from 116,139 rental cars sold in February 2025 to 117,442 vehicles sold last month.

• Government fleet vehicles declined, with 16,744 vehicles sold in February, down 8.9% from 18,383 sold in February 2025. (Four of the seven major Asian-based automakers did not provide any government fleet numbers for February.)

Those numbers resulted in total February fleet sales of 204,230, which were up 4.3% from 195,890 in February 2025.

Year-to-date sales remained in positive territory, with 365,292 total fleet vehicles sold, up 3.3% from 353,662 vehicles sold in Jan/Feb 2025.
