Responsibilities: 

• Design, propose, and continuously optimize the company’s fleet structure to meet operational and cost-efficiency objectives, considering vehicle type, usage patterns, and economic performance. 

• Analyze fleet performance and utilization on a regular basis to ensure alignment with business needs and cost targets. 

• Prepare cost–benefit scenarios related to leasing terms, vehicle models, and fleet size, and provide data-driven recommendations to management. 

• Deliver regular fleet performance and cost reports, including usage, expenses, and future fleet needs. 

• Develop and manage proactive vehicle maintenance programs to minimize downtime and extend vehicle lifecycle while avoiding unnecessary repairs. 

• Manage relationships with maintenance and service providers, negotiating and monitoring Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to ensure quality, timeliness, and cost efficiency. 

• Use GPS and telematics systems to support predictive maintenance planning based on mileage and driving behavior. 

• Monitor and control maintenance and repair costs, ensuring budget compliance. 

• Analyze fuel consumption across the entire fleet and identify trends related to inefficient driving, vehicle performance issues, or fuel waste. 

• Develop and implement fuel efficiency programs, including eco-driving initiatives, vehicle configuration optimization, and route planning. 

• Research and propose alternative fuel solutions (e.g., electric or hybrid vehicles) and technologies to improve fleet fuel efficiency. 

• Manage the fleet budget, including leasing, fuel, maintenance, and insurance costs, ensuring alignment with company financial objectives. 

• Continuously monitor fleet-related operational expenses and identify cost optimization and savings opportunities. 

• Support negotiations with leasing companies and suppliers to secure favorable leasing, service, and insurance terms. 

• Provide detailed cost analysis reports and insights to support financial decision-making. 

• Contribute to the vehicle contracting and leasing process by participating in the drafting and review of leasing contracts. 

• Ensure contracts protect company interests regarding costs, mileage allowances, insurance coverage, and return conditions. 

• Build and maintain strong partnerships with leasing providers and support negotiations for optimal contractual terms. 

• Manage the vehicle return process by optimizing mileage, preparing vehicles for inspection, and minimizing end-of-contract penalties. 

• Ensure all leased vehicles are properly insured throughout their lifecycle and manage claims and damage processes. 

• Coordinate vehicle replacements to ensure operational continuity with minimal disruption. 

• Monitor and deliver against key fleet KPIs, including fleet utilization rate, cost per kilometer, maintenance cost efficiency, fuel consumption improvement, and leasing contract optimization.
