The firm had already selected French constructors to meet its needs for heavy vehicles. In the context of a new bidding process involving all worldwide automobile manufacturers operating in France, this policy has now been extended across its 11,000-strong company car fleet.

The agreement also sees a focus on highly environmentally friendly vehicles. The range chosen includes 35 models available in roughly 350 versions and offers vehicles that generate less than 115g/km (excluding family ranges).

Franck Le Guillou, head of purchasing at Bouygues Construction, commented: “Following a very open invitation for tenders which we organise every three years, we chose to select the two French constructors, PSA and Renault, allowing us to take advantage of optimised service levels. This choice gives us the opportunity not only to favour French makes, but also to develop a highly environmentally friendly fleet.”
