LeasePlan is the first leasing provider to become a FORS Associate.

LeasePlan joins the scheme in advance of its launch of a new integrated vehicle check app at the CV Show in Birmingham later this month (April 25-27). The app, which will be named following a shortlist drawn up by CV Show attendees visiting the LeasePlan stand, is designed to it easier for organisations to gain FORS compliance by enabling drivers to conduct online daily vehicle checks, and provides essential data, reporting and auditing for transport teams.

Mark Lovett, head of commercial vehicles at LeasePlan UK, said: “Managing over 57,000 vans and specialist commercials gives us invaluable insight into the needs of drivers and operators today – and at LeasePlan UK, we understand that these vehicles are not simply a core component of business, but they are their business.

“With the FORS stamp of approval,” he said, “the app will make it easier for organisations running commercial vehicles to be compliant; and with a strong focus on vehicle uptime we’re confident it will also minimise associated admin for transport teams.”
