FLEETS can save up to 50% on air conditioning parts and maintenance by using the latest preferred supplier initiative in Fleet Cost Management's Select network. This network has now been completed, and numbers some 700 franchised dealers, 400 independents and 200 mobile agents around the country.

FCM claims around 96% of the UK's fleets are within easy range of a Select supplier, where they should be able to cut service, maintenance and repair bills by 36% on mainstream company cars. Air conditioning is the most recent area to come under FCM's scrutiny, as it becomes standard on more core fleet cars.
