Welcome to the first episode of "Fleet Focus: Take Charge of Change", where we dive into the dynamic world of modern fleet management. Modern fleet management is changing faster than ever, and it can be hard to know the right path forward. 

In this episode, two of our LEXperts, Andy Barrell and Melanie Holmes, along with Wayne Warburton from Siemens plc, discuss the transformative impact of hybrid working on fleet management, including reduced mileage and the evolving role of company cars. 

They explore the balance between cost management and employee appeal, the shift from one-size-fits-all contracts to multi-solution plans, and the growing traction of salary sacrifice schemes. 

Additionally, they highlight the importance of carbon benchmarking for tracking progress towards net zero emissions and the increasing significance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria in fleet management.
