Company directors and fleet managers can benefit from a new information and advice packed publication from Interactive Fleet Management.

Called ‘The Complete Guide to Fleet Management’, as well as covering areas such as planning a fleet strategy and pinpointing key areas for improvement, it also discusses how fleet management has changed over the years and provides a detailed explanation of the support services available to a well run fleet operation.

Jayne Pett, Interactive Fleet Management’s operations director, said: “Our new 12 page guide covers all aspects of planning, operating and managing a fleet of vehicles with straightforward, practical advice for companies of all sizes.

“It’s ideal for anyone overseeing a vehicle fleet, whether they are an experienced fleet manager or new to the role. And to give greater flexibility to the users the guide is available in hardcopy or electronic formats.”

Specific sections in the guide cover topics such as, why all contract hire is not the same, how to establish a maintenance management programme, the uses of fuel cars, salary sacrifice explained, daily rental and short term leasing options, and planning for the unexpected through using a accident management scheme and risk management procedures.

Finally, this essential handbook for fleet managers looks ahead to the future to areas such integrating electric vehicles into a fleet, the legal aspects of corporate fleet management and instigating good working practices to meet forthcoming legislation.
