The case

Challenge, approach and evidence

01

Context

A multinational organisation required greater consistency and governance across a fragmented international Fleet environment. Each country brought different regulatory, taxation, employee-relations, insurance and mobility requirements.

02

Challenge

The category needed an end-to-end operating model rather than a single sourcing event.

  • Market benchmarking, sourcing, supplier selection and leasing
  • Vehicle eligibility, employee allowances and vehicle-model strategy
  • Fuel-card governance and private-versus-business usage
  • Taxation, insurance, driver fines and driver safety
  • Country-specific regulatory requirements and supplier performance

03 / Operating shift

From the old model to the new one

BEFORE

Fragmented country practices, inconsistent policy and limited category-wide governance.

AFTER

A coordinated international Fleet model spanning policy, sourcing, implementation, operations and supplier performance.

04 / Relevant outcomes

What changed

  • Achieved 12% annualised Fleet savings.

  • Established a repeatable governance and learning model across 18 countries and more than 500 vehicles.
