Hyundai Motor America has established the direct order entry feature to provide fleet management companies and other commercial buyers a more streamlined ordering process, according to the automaker.

The direct order entry process allows fleet buyers to order Hyundai vehicles by submitting orders under a pre-set dealer partner code. Hyundai has also made other advancements to pursue commercial fleet sales by launching a fully functional fleet website and offering a nationwide demo program to provide fleet users a first-hand experience with their products.
"These are all essential and expected features and touch points that all FMCs and end-users require in order to be perceived as a viable OEM partner in the commercial/corporate space," said Pipenhagen. "These items along with building comprehensive infrastructure and strong hiring practices have made us competitive and appealing."
Hyundai Motor America also offers a Competitive Price Allowance (CPA) program as a secondary incentive for volume committed fleet purchases.
