Global fleet management has posed a challenge to the fleet industry for decades. With different laws, regulations, cultures and preferences around the world, managing a global fleet is no small feat.
That said, over the years, the industry has seen a growing shift in fleet management towards more comprehensive global solutions. Early on, Donlen realized that the more global fleet capabilities we have available, the more valuable we can be to our customers, which is why we have formed strategic partnerships around the world.
One of those partnerships is with Athlon, a leader in mobility solutions in Europe. Having celebrated their Centenary in 2016, Athlon has extensive experience and expertise in the automotive industry and is one of the largest international providers of vehicle leasing services and mobility solutions.
Donlen is a North American leader in custom-tailored customer service, innovative technology, and strategic consulting. With more than 50 years of experience in the fleet industry, we are a trusted source of performance-driven fleet management services in the U.S.
Since 2011, we have paired Donlen’s award-winning technology and customer service in North America with Athlon’s comprehensive mobility solutions and international account teams in Europe to deliver a global fleet management solution that is the best of both worlds.
Experienced European International Account Teams
Athlon offers global fleets a dedicated international account team that focuses on services and solutions in many different countries throughout Europe. As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, varying laws and cultures make global fleet management challenging, which is why the regional experience of Athlon’s international account team is key to a global fleet’s success. Having the right experts for each region allows fleet professionals to receive guidance that can improve the efficiency of their fleet. As a testament to the quality of the regional expertise, Lex Autolease, an Athlon partner, was recently awarded Best Professional Services Firm.
Athlon’s knowledgeable, experienced team is able to guide fleet managers through the differences in funding options for any given region and assistance with vehicle strategy based on each country’s unique regulations and preferences.
