The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) has announced plans to introduce a new Fleet Intelligence Consultancy service later this year.

This service is expected to meet the increasing demand for specialised fleet expertise.

AFP chair Paul Hollick said that the initiative will enable AFP members to leverage their skills in a more commercial setting.

The service will be accessible through a dedicated microsite linked to the AFP’s main website.

At the site, fleet operator members will have the opportunity to showcase their professional biographies, detailing their experience and expertise in the sector.

Hollick said: “We’re approached regularly by various parties who are looking for expert fleet input, whether that means a small business that needs a couple of hours of advice about selling new EV solutions to corporate fleets, or a dealer group or major manufacturer who want to set up or adapt an entire corporate fleet programme.

“In the past, we’ve handled this on an informal basis but AFP Fleet Intelligence is designed to create a more structured approach that will enable those needing fleet knowledge to find the right consultant and for AFP members to monetise their abilities and experience more easily.”

With development currently underway, the AFP Fleet Intelligence microsite is planned to be online in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Paul said: “This is a new industry service that promotes the abilities of fleet professionals while helping support everyone from start-ups to existing suppliers with their strategies and products. By sharing knowledge, it has the potential to fundamentally improve the landscape of the fleet industry in the short, medium and long term.”

Last month, AFP said it was ready to launch an online platform designed to enable fleets to share their electric vehicle charging facilities with other businesses.
