Mercedes-Benz is celebrating being named Fleet Manufacturer of the Year at the Fleet News Awards, held in London on March 14.

Commonly dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the fleet industry, the awards brings recognition to manufacturers and fleet professionals that stand-out in the sector.

Mercedes-Benz Cars UK’s head of fleet Rob East: “As the Fleet Manufacturer of the Year title is voted for by Fleet News readers, it makes winning this award even more special.

“It’s our hard-working, dedicated team and retail partners who have made this possible. We also have a very strong product range, featuring low running costs and strong residual values – making a very competitive offering for our customers.”

The prestigious event is attended by key figures across the fleet sector. This includes car manufacturers, fleet managers and leasing companies. 

Fleet News’ editor-in-chief Stephen Briers said: “Mercedes-Benz has completely re-evaluated the fleet customer journey, which has improved its services to the corporate and SME sector.

“It has engaged the retailer network in the process and introduced new initiatives that meet fleets’ needs and match the quality of its outstanding model line-up.

"The result? Satisfied fleets and satisfied drivers – the perfect result for our fleet manufacturer of the year.”
