Grosvenor, the UK’s largest privately-owned contract hire and fleet management specialist, has launched Vista, its latest innovative solution in response to fleet management evolution.
Pioneers of forward-thinking fleet solutions, Grosvenor launched OZone in 2017 to help fleets ‘go green’, making it the first contract hire and fleet management company to support customers in the transition to electric cars and vans.
Building on this pioneering EV advice, Ozone evolved into Vista, and now extends beyond electric vehicles to explore how evolving technologies, policies and culture will shape future fleet management and employee travel.
The consultative solution helps businesses plan for the future, based on 8 pillars that guide companies with fleets on how their vehicles, drivers, and overall business mobility might adapt to change over the next 5 to 10 years.
Vista’s 8 pillars cover policies, propulsion, technology, analysis, infrastructure, culture, regulatory and financial, with Grosvenor’s team offering practical guidance and expert advice on how companies can future-proof their fleet operation.
Cultural shifts identified early on by Grosvenor recognise that younger generations entering the workforce are increasingly focused on environmental sustainability, flexible working arrangements, and challenging conventional work patterns. These shifts are poised to reshape corporate travel practices.
Additionally, new management talent tends to be far more dependent on technology than their predecessors, expecting seamless app-based solutions to simplify everyday tasks—including getting from A to B.
As a result, in the coming years, companies will be expected to widen their choice of travel options beyond company cars and grey fleet to include options like car sharing, car club platforms, micro-mobility (e.g. e-bikes and scooters), and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) apps, which are likely to play a growing role in future fleet and travel strategies.
Steve Beadle, head of Vista at Grosvenor, said: “We are already seeing a cultural shift that is leading to fleet managers exploring additional forms of travel, such as car sharing and more flexible vehicle rentals. In city centres and urban areas, using Apps to find the best forms of travel, from taxis and buses to e-bikes and scooters, is commonplace, and this trend of app-based, flexible travel will continue to grow.
“We recognise that a new generation of tech-savvy employees, with different attitudes toward work, lifestyle, sustainability and travel, will soon be driving decisions in the business world. It’s for this reason we have launched Vista, to guide customers through the future cultural and business challenges they are likely to face, which will have an impact on their fleet.”
