Lex Autolease has developed a  new solution for business fleets aimed at eliminating downtime.

The service is aimed specifically at those companies whose vehicles are critical to the success of their business, such as ‘blue light’ fleets, those that provide essential services, and those that carry time-sensitive goods or where the business will incur punitive penalties if the vehicles are off the road.

The bespoke end–to-end fleet management solution covers vehicle funding, design, build and procurement, through to complete in-life management and incident support. All designed to minimise downtime and keep business critical fleets on the road.

Balfour Beatty recently awarded Lex Autolease a contract to manage its 2,500-strong speciality LCV fleet, testament to its capabilities in managing operationally critical vehicles.

Tim Porter, managing director of Lex Autolease, said: “Demand for a dedicated business critical offering has been growing in recent years. We anticipate that more companies with business critical fleets will recognise the cost- and time-saving benefits that can be achieved by working in partnership with a supplier that understands and can manage their essential fleet requirements beyond the supply of the vehicle.

“This proposition gives businesses the confidence to fully outsource their fleet requirements, reassured that their vehicles are in safe hands whilst they concentrate on delivering their core business activity.”
