Renault has once again managed to secure a win at the 2011 Fleet World Honours, this time for Most Improved Fleet Manufacturer and Van Manufacturer of the Year. This follows the launch onto the UK market of a number of successful programmes for its fleet customers, including the the Renault Business Promise, plus the arrival of the final phase of Master versions, including minibuses and conversions.
“This is an important award which marks the considerable effort and investment made by Renault to provide fleet operators and leasing companies with the most comprehensive range of services. Fleets typically account for around one-half of all the cars sold in the UK and many of these are purchased by contract hire and leasing companies on behalf of their corporate clients,” Fleet World Editor, Steve Moody, explains.
The award was received at a London event by Darren Payne, Renault UK’s Director, Fleet and Commercial Vehicle Operations, who said said his company is working hard to be the top choice, with some exciting initiatives and products on the way later in the year, including the 100% electric Kangoo Van Z.E. He also noted that this is the second consecutive year that Renault received the award in the Van Manufacturer segment.
“For this reason we asked the managing directors and operations directors of the UK’s top 20 leasing companies to nominate their choice of Most Improved Fleet Manufacturer and Renault was a clear winner. The Renault Business Promise was launched last year and has had a marked impact on fleet attitudes towards Renault, while the range rationalisation programme announced at the end of last year demonstrated that Renault was listening to its customers and acting on their comments,” Moody added.
