Dubbed Daimler Fleet Management, the new operation follows the announcement of the partnership between Mercedes-Benz Finance and Leasedrive earlier this year and enables fleets to not only manage their Mercedes-Benz and smart vehicle requirements but also other brands as well.
The launch of the new service comes as Mercedes-Benz in the UK announces its best ever month, with a 28% rise in registrations in September supported by the strongest quarterly figures yet recorded by the brand, as well as an upgraded fleet offering.
Nick Andrews, head of fleet sales, Mercedes-Benz UK commented: ‘New and existing fleet customers now have a more flexible and ultimately more straightforward service for their fleet needs – which can only be a good thing. We’re looking forward to offering the best possible customer support as well as a range of benefits through the partnership with the experts at Leasedrive.
‘On a commercial basis, to have Daimler Fleet Management in place as our year-to-date performance on the fleet market is setting new records means we can build on the positive momentum achieved in the first three quarters of growth as we aim to exceed our achievements in 2012.’
The new Daimler Fleet Management service is now live, with existing customers being informed of the transition with no action on their part being required.
