Fleet consultancy specialists TCOPlus and FleetVision have be absorbed into the Fleet Logistics Group, by owner TÜV SÜD.

International testing and certification specialist, TÜV SÜD Group, acquired both TCOPlus and its sister company, FleetVision, market-leaders in consolidated fleet reporting, TCO forecast solutions and international fleet consulting, in May 2015.

The two companies became 100% affiliates and operated within the company’s Fleet Business Unit alongside, but legally separately from, Fleet Logistics.

The new move will see the disappearance of the separate legal entities. The brands will be retained within the Fleet Logistics Group, creating a consultancy business line headed by director of fleet and mobility consultancy, Thibault Alleyn.

Both brands, TCOPlus and FleetVision, will continue to exist, as will their associated tools such as GreenCube and FleetCube.

The reorganized business line will continue to provide advisory and consultancy services on a broad range of fleet and mobility issues.

These include managing tenders for fleet clients with a variety of suppliers; providing IFRS readiness checks; and carrying out fleet audits at country, regional and global levels to evaluate potential savings, as well as redesigning in-house fleet teams, their tools, interfaces and the way they operate with suppliers.

The division also specialises in designing and implementing telematics and safety programs, as well as evaluating mobility providers and providing support and advice on the move from car-centric fleet management to driver-centric mobility change management.
