The first issue of a new Fleet News quarterly magazine is now available.

Fleet News iQ is packed with insight, interviews, reviews, knowledge and great ideas that cover the whole of the fleet and automotive sectors.

A print magazine edition goes to 1,000 of the biggest, professional fleet leaders. However, other fleet decision-makers are not excluded: they can access this same information via the digital version of Fleet iQ. As can the wider fleet community.

Editor Stephen Briers said: “Fleet News iQ exists for one reason alone: fleet decision-makers told us they wanted it. Ever since we closed the monthly Fleet News magazine two years ago, we have been inundated with calls from fleet professionals to bring back print.”

Inside edition one:

  • Cover star Matt Neale, fleet manager of the year and Platform Housing Group head of fleet, talks strategy and transformation 
  • Lucy Stuart, head of fleet & logistics, reveals the skillset that has made her an immediate success in her first fleet role at Cadent
  • Lucy Line, deputy MD at leasing company of the year Novuna Vehicle Solutions, explains the customer first culture
  • Mandy Dean, commercial vehicle director at Ford Pro, reveals how Ford has remained the UK's favourite van manufacturer for 60 years

Plus, it features opinions pieces from Paul Hollick, chair at Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP), and Philip Nothard, insight Director at Cox Automotive, and includes head-to-head tests of the BMW i5 versus Audi A6, and a group test of the best coupes – Ford Capri v Cupra Tavascan v Polestar 2.

The issue also puts the spotlight on procurement, electric vehicle battery degradation, post-crash safety strategies and the skills needed to be a progressive fleet leader.

The last word goes to new Fleet News Hall of Famer Alison Moriarty, managing director and head of compliance at Beverley Bell Consulting & Training.
