Political
Government is increasingly attempting to influence fleet vehicle choices through tax incentives and disincentives. Brexit may also affect vehicle prices and availability.
Financial
Not simply the cost of leasing the vehicle, but also operating costs such as fuel, maintenance and repair.
Social
For a fleet driver, the van is their workplace. For a business, it’s the flagship. Both points of view need to be factored into choices.
Technological
Self-driving vehicles may be some way down the road, but alternative fuels have already arrived.
Legal
New legislation such as WLTP may have an impact on your choices regarding fuel consumption and emissions
Environmental
From emissions legislation to Corporate Social Responsibility concerns, environmental factors are increasingly influencing fleet decisions.
Increasing productivity
Something as simple as choosing vans with side as well as rear doors – making loading and unloading quicker and easier – can increase productivity. The broader the vehicle range available from your leasing partner, the better the choices you can make.
Reducing administration
Identify where specialist expertise, process automation and economies of scale could reduce your workload, then identify the leasing company which can provide them.
Reducing vehicle downtime
Effective service, maintenance and repair plans, and 24/7 support, from your leasing partner will help to keep your vehicles on the road.
Reducing fleet management costs
Lower costs don’t only come from competitive rates. Ensuring your mileage is aligned to your contract, and identifying opportunities to make savings as your business grows or your needs change, could also help you to bring costs down.
