Aberdeen-based Richard Irvin Energy Solutions has outsourced the management of its fleet of 220 light commercial vehicles and 25 cars to Fleet Alliance to standardise its fleet management approach across Scotland.
“Our aim is to have a consistent approach to fleet management across the business and regional offices. We’re delighted that Fleet Alliance is able to create a tailor-made proposal for the management of our fleet requirements,” said Richard Irvin Supply Chain Manager, Chris Curtis.
Following the appointment, Fleet Alliance began an implementation process, including uploading all Richard Irvin vehicle details onto its state-of-the art, online fleet management system, “e-fleet”, which provides an extensive and comprehensive suite of management information reports and allows the insight of all aspect of the fleet operation.
We asked Amy Blaine, vice president of Strategic Consulting, Analytics and Sustainability at Donlen, to talk with us about the state of alternative fuel implementation by fleets that have recently enjoyed a respite from escalating fuel prices.
Blaine says, "My advice for fleets that are considering alternative fuels is that it still makes a lot of sense to continue your pilots, to continue your long term planning and put yourself in a good position for when fuel prices ultimately rise. You will be ahead of your competition and ready for the future."
