Syngenta Appoints Fleet Logistics to Manage APAC fleet

Global agri-business Syngenta has appointed Fleet Logistics, Europe’s largest independent fleet management provider, to manage its fleet of 1,700 vehicles in 12 countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Syngenta, which is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, employs 28,000 people in 90 countries worldwide. It is dedicated to the purpose of ‘Bringing Plant Potential to Life’ with the aim of increasing crop productivity, protecting the environment and improving health and quality of life through world-class science.

Syngenta operates around 3,600 cars in Europe, Africa and Middle East and already works with Fleet Logistics in the UK, where it has a fleet of 155 vehicles.

Now, under a new four-year-agreement, Fleet Logistics will be responsible for managing Syngenta vehicles – cars, motorcycles and buses – in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.

This will be supported from a newly established hub set up by Fleet Logistics in Singapore. The company’s major shareholder, international certification provider TÜV SÜD Group, has existing businesses in the region, including operations in Singapore, Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing.

The new fleet management service is designed to handle a number of issues, including fleet strategy development, fleet policy, fleet processes and external benchmarking. It will also include vehicle funding, looking at the cost benefits of leasing versus outright purchase, along with the sourcing of third party contracts such as car leasing and fuel cards.

Fleet Logistics International sales Director, Stuart Donnelly, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to expand our collaboration with Syngenta internationally, and the experience developed together to support the start of our global operations in Asia-Pacific is really exciting. This is a further step along the journey for Fleet Logistics in creating a truly global network for our customers.”
