Fleet manager or mobility manager? ‘Mobility’ has become the buzz word in fleet, alongside ‘autonomous’ and ‘alternative fuel’ vehicles. The government is plugging this agenda, believing that new ways of travelling could ease up congestion and improve air quality. Indeed, a public inquiry is asking for evidence of the benefits and challenges of mobility-as-a-service. From a fleet perspective, ACFO have responded with the proposal that employees should be given ‘mobility cards’ that could be used to access all forms of travel. The BVRLA meanwhile has said in a recent paper that the government should introduce a scrappage scheme for old diesels that includes mobility credits that can be used for public transport, car club and car rental journeys. This issue of GreenFleet focuses on business mobility and connectivity. Our new panel of experts – including the AA’s Stuart Thomas, Lightfoot’s Dan Regan and ACFO’s John Pryor – discusses how fleet management is evolving into ‘mobility management’. We also round up the latest mobility news, while Frost & Sullivan explains how we are in the second wave of the mobility service evolution. Angela Pisanu, editor
