At Fleet Alliance we’re are aware that by keeping our team hydrated will aid them to perform at their very best throughout the workday. As a result, we decided to invest in watercoolers from AquAid.
Our unique relationship with AquAid has also given our company the opportunity to help those less fortunate than ourselves, because with each purchase an automatic donation is made to the Africa Trust.
These funds are used to build ‘Elephant Pumps’ – a modified version of an age old Chinese rope pulley system. One such pump is currently being installed in Africa on our behalf and it will be a much needed source of clean and fresh drinking water for many.
Our organisation’s name will be proudly displayed on our well and we look forward to adding some photos and letters of thanks from the villagers to our site in the near future.
Social, charity and community are fundamental aspects of Fleet Alliance Loves and is at the heart of everything we do as a business. To date, we have raised over £413,000 for our chosen charities since 2008.

There are some certainties in life: Scotland will, oh so nearly qualify for the World Cup – but not quite; England will go out on penalties – of course; and the President of America will continue his foreign policy via social media. The other certainty is that Fleet Alliance continues to be one of the … Continued
Going green is increasingly important for all businesses. But it’s important to understand the ramifications of electrification. Are electric vehicles correct for your business? How do they fit the mileage profile of drivers? Is there the correct infrastructure at work and at home to support electrification? And if there is, how do you reimburse staff … Continued
It might sound fanciful, but it’s true: blockchain technology may well underpin your fleet and your future mobility requirements. Now, don’t back because this sounds too technical. Because as you know, me and technology are not always the best bedfellows. So let me explain. Blockchain is essentially a highly secure form of ledgers – blocks … Continued
I know I tend to talk about cars and car-fleet related issues in this blog. But that doesn’t mean I’m not keen on light commercial vehicles too. I am. We lease and fleet manage plenty of vans. In fact, they are becoming an increasingly significant part of our fleet. Their role is critical, something to … Continued
I won’t go too hard on you. But WLTP. Yes, more autospeak. However, you need to get used to it I’m afraid. The reason for this is all good – it’s to give you a much clearer and more realistic view of what the fuel consumption may be of your chosen car. After all, … Continued
Making that leap into the electric world of motoring is daunting. Of that I have no doubt. There’s much to consider, particularly for fleets: recharging infrastructure both at work and at home; range – is an electric vehicle (EV) viable and fit for purpose; and what about vehicle availability? These are not inconsiderable questions. And … Continued
I know there’s much talk about Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the moment. About how AI will supplant humans, blue and white collar alike. But, as so often is the case, this is only so much scaremongering. As ‘Flippy’, the AI robot – introduced by a fast food burger chain – found out, reality doesn’t always … Continued
We do charity BIG here at Fleet Alliance. It’s fundamental to the way we do business as a company. ‘Fleet Alliance loves’ is what we call it, and the manifestations are varied and wonderful. Last year, the Fleet Alliance people were, typically, unstinting in their charitable efforts. The staff raised an awe-inspiring £100,204. Which tore … Continued
So, here’s a conundrum. The CO2 emissions from new cars are better (ie lower) than those that they replace. On average, new and updated models in 2017 emitted -12.6% less CO2 than those that they replaced. Turning to new vans, the CO2 emissions of these were lower as well – by -4.8% – reaching a … Continued
