The 2016 Global Fleet Summit in Turkey, which will be held Sept. 20-22, will focus on the challenges and opportunities of the current and future Turkish fleet markets, with special attention on the importance of the total cost of ownership (TCO) concept.

Again in Istanbul, the two-day regional Fleet Summit will also examine in detail a host of key issues of relevance for international fleet decision makers, including tendering, reporting, sustainability and safety, international versus local influence, car policy evolution, and upcoming trends and technologies.

Confirmed sponsors include car sharing company, YOYO, and leasing providers, DRD Fleet Leasing, Fleetcorp, LeasePlan, and Volkswagen Doğuş Finans.
