The Fuel Card Group has launched “Fleet Matters,” a quarterly fact file for fleet managers, which covers best practice in fleet management.

The first issue of Fleet Matters focuses on drivers, a key asset for any fleet, examining three key facets of driver employment.

Fleet Matters outlines the employer’s responsibilities towards its drivers, showing to whom it owes a duty of care and including the ‘grey fleet’ position. It then explains about driving licence categories and ages, with advice on DVLA licence checking. Finally, it covers driver training, discussing available options and showing how driver training can contribute towards fleet cost-efficiency.

Steve Clarke, marketing manager for The Fuel Card Group, said: “Fleet Matters distils a great deal of essential best practice information into a short space, making it simple to get straight to the salient points. Many fleet managers will know some of this, but everyone should be able to find something new in the content. It contains no advertising and no sales content, just solid information to help managers run their fleets more effectively.”
