LeasePlan presented the results of a benchmarking study of fleet management policies. The Car Ratio took its place in the front seats.
The study included the participation of 347 fleet managers, who allowed the collection of self-sufficient information on 11 sectors of activity. After evaluating fleet management policies, LeasePlan reveals that cost reduction remains a priority for fleet managers. Let's look at this in 7 key lines:The 7 Truths of Fleet Management Policies
1 – The priority for fleet managers at the moment is to reduce direct and indirect costs with their fleets;
2 – Companies tend to assume almost all the costs with their fleets. With regard to fuel costs, tolls and claims, in some cases they are shared with employees;
3- The fleets managed in Renting have, for the most part, Maintenance, tire management, replacement vehicle and insurance services. Fuel and tolls tend to be managed by companies;
4- The freedom to choose a vehicle increases according to the hierarchical levels of the companies and the ceilings for vehicle selection are mostly established in terms of income;
5- The strategic and operational decisions of fleet management are more often in the Financial Department;
6- 88% of companies have a written and published Fleet Policy and the scope of its contents is directly related to the size of the fleet;
7- The period of use of a business vehicle is normally 4 years and the fleets are mostly (75%) made up of passenger vehicles.
Strategic improvements and action plans are already underway, which meet the wishes of each company. In addition to the comprehensive “Cost Savings Accelerator”, other consultancy services aim to improve fleet policies, such as the GreenPlan which plans to reduce the ecological footprint and other studies that can mitigate the fiscal impact.
