Since 2002, Fatec has supported the SNCF. At the end of a tender, the management contract has just been renewed for a firm period of four years to which are added four optional years. This perspective will make it possible to deepen the partnership by working on themes of strategic importance for the SNCF.
Since Fatec was taken over by Théophane Courau, the partnership with the SNCF has been renewed several times. The last renewal has just intervened for an entry into force on January 1, 2025. Despite its satisfaction with the service provided by Fatec, the SNCF had wished to compete. “ Everyone knows how to do fleet, but we had to detect those who had the most potential to go from surrender to a logic of reflection on all maintenance costs. », Expresses Frédéric Comte, DGFA of the SNCF car fleet.
Thematic deepens
The contract concerns the various SNCF entities as well as the group's subsidiaries. The park consists of 25,000 vehicles and vehicles including 95 % light vehicles. Two levels of service have been planned. On the one hand, support in the technical and administrative management of vehicles, as soon as they put on the road (in particular maintenance, maintenance, assistance in restitution) as well as the relationship with drivers. On the other hand, analysis and advice intended to improve the piloting of the park. On this point, Fatec was able to mark its difference by deepening different themes. " We are in the minds of a pilot client ," says Frédéric Comte. Nine ambitious projects have been proposed. " The first deliverables will intervene at the end of the first half of 2025. They will go out until the end of 2026 ," said Marine Dumontier, a large account manager who pilot the SNCF fleet at Fatec.
Complete projects
Among the objectives set, Fatec will work to secure the use of fuel cards and telepaling by SNCF employees. The new contract will also optimize technical and maintenance expenses by analysis of data and tools made available (application for drivers, management portal accessible to the various hierarchical managers, etc.). A third deepening will concern CSR: repairing rather than replacing, using re -use parts, carbon emission objectives. In addition, Fatec will make proposals to the SNCF in order to reduce the time of immobilization of its vehicles. Last axis, strengthening the maintenance of vehicles in compliance, with the concern of ensuring the safety of agents who move and avoid fixed assets that can disrupt sites.
“ We are delighted to start a new chapter with the SNCF. By demonstrating its ability to innovate and progress constantly, Fatec has proposed a strategic depth which will allow this large company to optimize its fleet for at least four additional years. " Concludes Théophane Courau, president of Fatec.
