When we talk about the largest corporate vehicle fleets in the Americas, most people immediately think of trucking giants, transport companies, or vehicle leasing and rental firms. But beyond those industries, there’s a significant group of companies whose core business lies elsewhere — yet they still operate some of the biggest fleets in the region..
North America: Light-Duty Leaders?
In the United States, AT&T leads the pack with more than 75,000 light-duty vehicles, closely followed by PepsiCo with approximately 70,000. These fleets support everything from service calls to product distribution, and their scale rivals that of many logistics specialists.
Work Trucks: The Everyday Heavy Lifters?
When it comes to work trucks, WM (Waste Management) operates more than 25,000 trucks, AT&T maintains over 23,000, Republic Services (19,000), and Quanta Services (18,000).
And for Heavy-Duty Muscle?
In the heavy-duty category, retail and consumer goods companies dominate. Walmart operates more than 12,000 semi-tractors and an impressive 92,000 trailers, while PepsiCo runs over 10,000 semi-tractors and more than 18,000 trailers to keep their supply chains moving.
Regarding Electric Vehicle Highlights?
Sustainability is reshaping fleet composition. Amazon now operates 30,000 electric delivery vans throughout US cities, one of the largest corporate EV deployments in the country.
In Latin America
regarding Regional Heavyweights?
In Mexico, Coca-Cola FEMSA alone operates about 3,000 delivery trucks for last-mile logistics. Across Latin America, other major fleet operators outside the transport sector include PepsiCo, Kraft, Merck, Honeywell, Pirelli, and Danone, with much of their fleet presence concentrated in Brazil.
Latin America’s EV Leaders?
Mercado Libre boasts over 3,600 electric vehicles, while Grupo Bimbo operates more than 2,500 electric delivery vehicles in Mexico alone, making them two of the most advanced EV adopters in the region. Most recently, PepsiCo Mexico has added 1,070 Ford E-Transit electric vans to its fleet.
And If we do include the Transport Sector?
Including companies whose core business is transport dramatically changes the rankings. UPS leads in the United States with about 100,000 light-duty delivery trucks. First Student, Inc. operates 44,050 buses across the country. In Canada, TFI International runs 10,000 semi-tractors and about 50,000 trailers. In Brazil, JSL operates 6,500 trucks and 4,500 trailers, while Mexico’s Grupo Senda runs more than 2,450 vehicles for both passengers and logistics.
And for those not included on our List?
As their core business revolves entirely around fleet management, large vehicle leasing and rental companies are excluded - such as Holman, Enterprise Fleet, and Wheels Inc. in the United States, Element Fleet Management in Canada, and Localiza in Brazil.
From service vans to long-haul tractors and pioneering electric delivery fleets, these companies demonstrate that massive, well-managed vehicle operations aren’t just the domain of logistics firms. In many industries, the fleet is the engine that keeps the business running, literally.
