Fleet Alliance wins fleet of renewable energy company Ørsted

FLEET ALLIANCE will be managing the fleet of renewable energy company Ørsted in the UK.

The deal involves the company’s mixed fleet of cars and vans. It also includes the grey fleet. All vehicles will be managed on a fully outsourced basis.

Ørsted has 11 operational offshore wind farms in the UK, with a further two projects
currently under construction. Ørsted is also building a world’s first bio-energy plant in
Cheshire.

The company decided to review its fleet management operation and implemented a tender process with three suppliers, including its incumbent provider.

Following the tender process, Fleet Alliance emerged top by a significant margin. Ørsted took the decision to switch providers because it wanted greater administrative support with the operation of its fleet and wished to achieve several fleet efficiencies across its UK fleet operation.

The Glasgow-based fleet management specialist will now be responsible for managing the company’s mixed fleet of 33 cars and vans plus, under a separate project, its grey fleet of over 100 vehicles.

Also included is all fleet administration including Motor Insurance Database (MID) and fines management, servicing, maintenance, daily rental management and scheduling, and duty of care management.

Fleet Alliance is planning to reduce the cost of acquisition with a competitive tendering process for all new vehicles. This will be through a panel of four preferred contract hire funders.
