The Hertz Corporation has extended its relationship with the Freight Transport Association (FTA) by announcing the launch of the Hertz FTA Shop, an online marketplace for travel goods. Hertz UK customers can now access FTA’s range of transport supplies for purchase at FTA Member discount prices online. Items on offer include maintenance, security and satellite navigation products, as well as health and safety equipment, drivers’ work wear and international travel accessories.

Michel Taride, president of Hertz International, said: “As a business Hertz is committed to delivering a wide range of transport solutions, so we’re delighted to be the first rental operator offering customers free and easy access to the FTA store.”

The launch of the online shop comes as an extension of the relationship between the two organisations after Hertz pledged its support of the FTA’s Van Excellence Code; a comprehensive code of conduct for van operators to benefit businesses, the environment and all other road users.
