Hitachi Capital will support the 9,000 light commercial vehicles used by British Gas engineers to carry out service, maintenance and repair work for its customers. All Fleet Services will also handle service booking, maintenance and repair calls from its new call centre operation in Gloucester.

Commenting on All Fleet’s role in the contract, Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions managing director Simon Oliphant said: 'The British Gas commercial fleet is one of the largest in the UK and driver support is absolutely critical to minimise vehicle off-road time and support the efficient running of its business. Having worked with the All Fleet Services team for some time now we are confident in their ability to manage the driver support function to the high and consistent standards we expect of our third party suppliers.'
