Independent fleet management specialist Global Autocare is playing a vital role in ensuring one of cycling’s biggest races keeps on the road with the provision of an extraordinary fleet of vehicles.

A fleet of vehicles, including the BMW i8, will keep the Tour de Yorkshire on the road

Underlining how its work showcases its fleet management capabilities for all customers, the Yorkshire-based firm is the official vehicle partner for the Tour de Yorkshire, providing vehicles from red BMWs that will run with the riders to the vital support crews, worth £2m in total.

Global’s commercial director Stephen Chater said: “The Tour de Yorkshire has really exacting mobility requirements – the race is fast-paced, high-tech and extremely well organised – we bring the same commitment to our vital role in delivering the operational support that underpins this great event as we do every day to our customers that depend on our fleet management capability to support them running their business.

“We feel really privileged not just to have been selected to deliver for the race, but also showcase our ability to the region. Sport at the highest level is synonymous with Global and our values and we are delighted to be the Official Vehicle Partner of the Tour de Yorkshire.”
