Editorial Focus
Essential Fleet Manager Magazine is published for fleet professionals responsible for managing the fleet operations of organisations that provide ‘Essential Services’ throughout the UK, including the public sector, social housing, utilities, contractors, and infrastructure management. The majority of our readers manage fleets that consist of more than 200 vehicles and have overall responsibility for the procurement of fleet vehicles as well as fleet and driver management products and services.
How vehicles are used throughout the Essential Services sector:
In the NHS, for example, fleet operations include everything from providing patient transport and clinical waste management to delivering pool car provision for staff.
Local Authorities have responsibilities that include street cleaning, recycling, parks, and grounds maintenance.
Within the blue-light emergency sector, response times and reliable vehicle assets are essential.
Many social housing providers now run their own maintenance services and have large fleets of LCVs, which are dispatched carrying various tradespeople to carry out repairs. Fleets in this sector also have to provide an element of social care.
Fleet professionals operate extensive and diverse fleets within the utility and infrastructure management sectors, which are usually dispersed over large geographical areas. Fleet composition and the types of assets procured include vehicles for engineers, including specialist vehicle conversions with onboard facilities such as welfare and power; in addition, there is a need for vehicle provision for corporate staff.
The issues faced within fleet management across the Essential Services sector:
Managing capital assets while achieving standardisation in driver and vehicle safety across large fleets is a complex task. Therefore, optimising fleet utilisation and delivering cost-effective fleet management are key focus areas for the ‘Essential Services’ sector.
Fleets across the UK are also in a transitional phase, many opting to electrify their whole fleet or, where this isn’t possible, utilise lower-emission fuels. Essential Fleet Manager Magazine provides vital guidance to help fleet and transport managers understand how to transition in the most cost-effective way, with best practice guides and by sharing insights from fleet professionals across the sector who have already started on this transitional journey.
How can Essential Fleet Manager help to promote your products and services?
For a fleet supplier, Essential Fleet Manager Magazine offers a truly unique route to reach fleet and fleet-related product and service decision-makers within the ‘Essential Services’ sector. This is a stable market, and the organisations we include within our readership are known for being early adopters of new technology. The fleet industry as a whole is also responsible for the primary growth within the automotive sector.
