A component estimated at 2000 vehicles won by Aon Auto

The "fleet management" is the management by a claimant of an already funded fleet (purchased, leased or leasing). Over the long period rental (LLD), that package at all, it separates financing and management. Ugap, who passes a part of the public order, has come an agreement with ALD Automotive France, a subsidiary of Société Générale, which opens up the possibility for the State and territorial authorities to buy the "fleet management" without the heavy tender procedure, it being done upstream. Interested public authorities may choose, on the catalogue of Ugap, for a mix of services to the map: preventive and curative of the cars with reporting, maintenance management of tyres, troubleshooting, provision of replacement vehicles, relations with insurers.

Assistance to the modernizing

This new offer of the purchasing power is a market estimated at 60 000 vehicles, including 30 000-side state and 30,000 on the side of territorial communities. This - large commitments signed by a gros par des gros signés un signed a engagements the Ugap of Alain Borowski of those signed with, helps the modernization in the markets The power plant purchases, which has internally by a team of some 15 specialized automobile buyers, signed in the wake of two other contracts for the management of industrial vehicles, public transport and Garbage dumpsters. A component estimated at 2,000 vehicles, won by Aon Auto.

The agreement that references ALD Automotive to the Ugap reinforces this long rental duration in its position of "fleeter" leader in France. "Since its launch, ALD had relied on two markets, the longstay and"fleet management"," said its Director General France, Jean-François Chanal for which "the"fleet management"is a strategic choice and not only a passage towards the longstay." "It fits in the approach of General society to respond to the needs of its customers specialized financial services".A contract signed with La Poste (roughly 38,000 vehicles management today) had boosted this second profession of ALD which control today 20-25 of all markets "fleet" in France. The company has implemented a computer tool specially adapted, capable of handling both giant fleets of all small and make the reporting. "The agreement is therefore immediately operational for the local market for which ALD managed already thousands of vehicles." 60,000 additional vehicles may enter without problem in our system in three years, the duration of the contract. "If this figure is reached, it will be set up the"fleet"of ALD Automotive activity in nearly half of all the vehicles managed by the landlord, included LLD. This contract is not an increase in volume with crushed margins: "Since we already have specific tools, this increase in volume will increase our productivity", said Jean-François Chanal.

The call for tenders for the first half of 2008 had established competition six offers. Formally, these are two framework contracts setting prices and benefits which have been signed with ALD, a relation of the State, the other local communities. Each client community will define, fleet by fleet, its specific needs and sign as many "subsequent markets" as necessary with the "fleeter." The amount of realized benefits shall not enter in the turnover of the Ugap which is not the holder of the market, but it will be face to face, contract by contract, ALD with each community. In this case, central role in a certain way a provider of business and pays a Commission which takes into account the preparation of the contract for the community, benefits of accompaniment (advice, training, information) and provided quality control.

"This contract reflects the gradual of the Ugap towards the provision of services which is one of the levers of development", said Alain Borowski. In 2001, the part of the only markets of services sold by the Ugap was only 3-4 million euros of turnover. In 2009, prior to this agreement, they reach 200 million mainly in cleaning, distribution of fuel, security guards and moves.

Possession for the purpose

This development is at the same time "a movement of outsourcing of support functions." and a request for people publi-s looking for savings When we sell computer equipment, it is the quality of the attached service which is the value of the offer. "Evolution is identical in the car."As the private sector, the public slips so the possession to use. The dissociation of the financing of vehicles and their management leaves a little more freedom to communities that can buy vehicles on the one hand and choose one provider to another, passing in whole or in part by the Ugap which now presents a rich catalogue: manufacturers and models of cars referenced the purchase with an option of maintenance contracts and, since 2008, benefits of long lease duration.

The next step will be the constitution of an offer to electric vehicles. Jean-Paul Bailly, President of La Poste, pilot a working group on the subject and the demand is estimated to be 50,000 vehicles. In this total, the Ugap hopes to increase the share of the needs of the State and territorial communities. A call for tenders could be launched early 2010 for allocation of market current 2011.
