Siemens UK employees are now able to rent vehicles on demand using app-based technology through Enterprise Car Club.

All 15,000 Siemens UK employees now have access to Enterprise’s car club scheme

All 15,000 employees now have access to Enterprise’s car club scheme, covering 1,400+ on-street vehicles across the UK and providing 24/7 mobility.

This is in addition to the existing dedicated car club vehicles already located on-site at Siemens UK’s offices in Lincoln, Hull, Aberdeen, Congleton and Manchester – the dedicated car club programme has already helped improve efficiencies by reducing the number of pool cars Siemens UK operates by a third.

The new programme enables employees, including those who are now hybrid or remote working, to access low- and zero-emission cars for ‘spot hire’ as and when required across the UK. Those with business-critical mobility needs continue to take vehicles on long-term hire from Enterprise.

The automated rental programme includes a bespoke car club enrolment page for Siemens employees that accelerates the account setup process. Employees then use their Siemens credit card to book trips on the Enterprise Car Club app and vehicles are opened with either a smartphone or the Siemens ID card.

The app tracks every journey through the company’s travel management system and ensures it is compliant with the travel policy, including that all bookings are for essential trips only, and local Enterprise Rent-A-Car branches can now switch daily rental bookings to car club when a suitable vehicle is available nearby.

Wayne Warburton, head of mobility services at Siemens UK, said: “The opportunity to extend car club access across the whole organisation, alongside the dedicated vehicle programme, makes sense because of Enterprise’s very regionalised network. Enterprise’s car club and branch network is located in many smaller communities and even rural areas around the UK, not just in city centres.

“They’re the only rental car company that could successfully deliver this scale of initiative and help us manage the current pressures on new vehicle acquisition.”

Adrian Bewley, assistant vice president of business mobility for Europe at Enterprise, added: “Siemens UK is one of a growing number of UK-wide organisations that are seeing the benefits of how a car club can help to achieve a wide array of innovation, mobility and business goals. It continues to be at the forefront of employee mobility by looking at solutions that support employees – especially in a rapidly changing workplace – by enabling business travel in an efficient and sustainable way.”
