Fleet director Martin Wilson spoke to Fleet World recently about the carmaker’s plans to double its UK leasing market share and its moves to put the infrastructure in place to support this.

Now, Hyundai has announced more details about its new fleet initiative that has seen 27 accredited Hyundai dealers sign up to become Fleet Business Centres.

The centres will offer a number of additional, bespoke services to business customers and aim to deliver competitive purchase deals and contract hire rates for SMEs with fleets of up to 10 vehicles.

Fleets will be offered expert guidance by Hyundai Business Professionals who will have undergone specialist training on all aspects of fleet operations to ensure they provide local customers with the best possible advice when choosing their next vehicles.

The centres will also be equipped with free wifi facilities and dedicated working areas show that fleet drivers continue their work while their car is in for a service. Furthermore, customers will be able to utilise a free loan vehicle or opt for a collect-and-deliver service or free shuttle.

Martin Wilson said: ‘Fleet Business Centres will help Hyundai build its presence in the fleet field by delivering uncompromised customer service and true value. It shows Hyundai’s commitment to offering all fleet customers – regardless of fleet size – the best possible service that’s convenient and local to them along with the specialist knowledge of matching the right fleet vehicle with the specific business requirement. Alongside recent appointments within our fleet team, the first 27 Hyundai Fleet Business Centres will be a vital asset in Hyundai’s ever-increasing fleet offering.’
