Aficar Mobility, Direct Fleet, FATEC, Holson, Phoenix Développement, Solucar, and Traxall France have joined forces to create aFleet, the first association of independent fleet managers. In addition to providing a precise skills framework for fleet management, aFleet's mission is to professionalize the industry by participating in discussions about current and future mobility, and by advocating for expert and controlled fleet management.
Defining fleet management and representing independent players in the industry
Today, there is a real need for professionalizing the fleet manager role, for which there is no formal academic training. aFleet's objective is to establish best practice standards and share expertise in order to clarify the role of the fleet manager within the customer and partner ecosystem.
A l’instar des organisations représentatives des autres acteurs de notre industrie, l’association aFleet souhaite prendre la parole sur les thèmes clés lié à ses activités : « Nous sommes un groupement d’experts de la gestion de flotte automobile. Notre contribution est aussi de participer et d’enrichir les débats autour de la transition énergétique et ses conséquences sur les pratiques actuelles et futures de nos métiers. » indique Philippe Ambon, secrétaire de l’association.
Taking a stand and highlighting the strengths of an expert fleet manager
One of aFleet's objectives is also to highlight the benefits of independent fleet management for businesses.
Within aFleet, independence from all actors is an essential criterion; it unites members and allows us to offer an impartial approach valued by clients.
« Grâce à notre action, la gestion d’un parc automobile est coordonnée par un interlocuteur unique, ce qui facilite grandement le quotidien des organisations qu’elles soient privées, publiques ou associatives. » précise Laurent Hauducoeur, vice-président d’aFleet
The association has a shared governance model with a rotating presidency every 6 months, to allow all founding members to embody aFleet in the automotive fleet ecosystem, representative bodies and the media.
The first office is composed of:
- Théophane Courau, President
- Laurent Hauducoeur, Vice-President
- Philippe Ambon, Secretary
- Maxime Sartorius Communication
- Fabien Goussault, Treasurer
