Automotive services organisation Holman has partnered with French fleet management company FATEC Group to offer multinational fleet operators a global fleet leasing and management solution.

The firms said the partnership will provide customised fleet management solutions, powerful analytical tools and the international expertise needed for multinational fleets to continue generating revenue

The new solution will provide the consistency and transparency fleets need to better control operating costs while offering a truly global solution.

This will draw on the firms’ combined presence. Together, Holman and FATEC Group have a presence throughout North America and Germany, France, Belgium, plus the UK under the former ARI Fleet UK division, which was recently rebranded.

Thanks to their strategic alliances around the world, Holman and FATEC are also able to offer in-market expertise in 30 countries, providing consistency for fleets whether they run a local, national or trans-national fleet.

Rick Tousaw, Holman’s executive vice-president and chief commercial officer, said: “Holman and FATEC Group share a similar vision for effective fleet management; emphasising transparency and simplicity while prioritising proactive strategic planning throughout each phase of the vehicle lifecycle, allowing businesses to adapt locally while still managing globally.

“This partnership promises to do precisely that through customised fleet management solutions, powerful analytical tools and the unrivalled international expertise multinational fleets need to continue generating revenue.”

The partnership will enable organisations around the world to minimise their total cost of ownership by managing their fleet, not just as another cost centre but as a strategic business asset that drives revenue.

Théophane Courau, CEO, FATEC Group, added: “Operating a transnational fleet often means navigating increasingly complex challenges on a global scale, and with so many variables as your business moves across borders, you need strategic partners who deliver the flexibility and strategic execution necessary to keep your fleet moving forward.

“Beyond simple transactional management, analysis of consolidated fleet data combined with recommendations for corrective actions are key to maximising returns on a fleet investment. Our alignment with Holman enhances the value we can offer fleet operators and expands the geographical footprint in which we can do so.”
