Asset Alliance Group has appointed experienced transport policy and public affairs specialist Robert Gwynn as strategic development manager.
Gwynn will support the commercial vehicle specialist’s plans to increase the number of alternatively fuelled vehicles across its fleet, as part of the company’s long-term commitment to serving customers’ changing needs.
Gwynn joins from Volta Trucks where he was policy and public affairs manager, and previously spent more than six years at Hermes in operational and public affairs roles.
“I’m really excited to be joining a forward-thinking company that is keenly aware of the importance greener fuels have in a more sustainable future for the transport sector,” he said. “With financing one of the key challenges in the decarbonisation of transport, Asset Alliance Group has a huge part to play in facilitating operators’ transition to a cleaner and greener future.”
Gwynn will use his experience of policy analysis and lobbying campaigns in the transport industry to develop a strategy that will transition Asset Alliance Group’s vehicle fleet from diesel to renewable alternative fuels.
“With this knowledge, and working closely with vehicle manufacturers, we can determine what type of assets we need to have on our books, ensuring we offer expert advice to our customers on how alternative fuels can fit in with their own sustainability plans,” he added.
Willie Paterson, chief executive of Asset Alliance Group, commented: “Rob joins us at a pivotal moment in the company’s journey towards decarbonisation. By harnessing his expertise in environmental and sustainability issues, we will be better equipped to meet the changing needs of our customers.”
