§ Ms HewittThe best source of information on the engine size of company cars is the National Travel Survey, which covers only company cars available for private use. However, the size of the Survey allows for only a limited breakdown by engine size. According to the latest Survey, there were about 400,000 company cars with engine capacities up to 1600cc, and about 1,200,000 with larger engine sizes.
