FCA Group's fleet planning and corporate marketing manager Simon Wheeler (pictured) told Fleet News about the groups plans for 2017.
FN: What models have fleets been excited about on your stand this year?
Simon Wheeler (SW): The Alfa Romeo Giulia range is by far the most popular on our stand this year and we are attracting many test drives in it. We are taking people for company test drives in the Quadrifoglio and explaining some of the cutting-edge technology within the vehicle. The Fiat range is also proving popular. The Tipo, Fullback and Spider have all been well received.
FN: What are your hopes for 2017?
SW: We are on target to achieve our sales objectives with the Giulia and Tipo. Later in the year we will launch the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, showcased today. We hope the launch is successful and that there is an interest in the range. We are having conversations about the new Jeep Compass and hoping for a successful launch.
FN: What’s the biggest challenge for fleets this year?
SW: There is uncertainty in the market around taxation, Brexit and business. Uncertainty is not good for long-term growth but we have as much of a robust plan as we can have at this point.
