The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Research has shown that fleet managers have been given increased responsibility as the recession kicks in.
The Company Car Trends survey, run by GE Capital Solutions Fleet Services, shows the amount of managers able to make final decisions on fleet suppliers has risen to 68.8% from 37.0% over the past year. More managers are also now given the responsibility of making the final call on fleet policy, up 4% to 43.7%.
Gary Killeen, GE's commercial leader, said: "Company Car Trends is supporting anecdotal feedback from the market showing that fleet managers are enjoying greater influence at the expense of HR departments, as cost, safety and green concerns overtake the need to offer the best car possible in order to aid staff recruitment and retention."
GE Fleet Services also identified five areas where companies can cut costs further.
1. Implement a fuel card policy to regulate use.
2. Scrap cash-for-car schemes.
3. Make use of online reporting for fleet analysis.
4. Restrict choice of vehicle manufacturer and model.
5. Consult industry experts.Research has shown that fleet managers have been given increased responsibility as the recession kicks in.
