And the winner is... Ayvens!

Presented at its new home, Coventry Building Society Arena, for the first time, the GREENFLEET Awards celebrate the products, services and people spearheading the transition to sustainable transport.

Judges praised Ayvens for its leadership and innovation, highlighting how our consultancy team is enabling some of the UK’s largest fleets deploy electric vehicles at scale, supported by innovative leasing solutions, thought leadership and industry advocacy.

The results speak for themselves. Our alternatively fuelled fleet has grown from 19% to 39% of all vehicles since the end of 2023, including strong uptake of salary sacrifice schemes – which are heavily EV-weighted.

The WhatVan? Awards showcase the best of the UK’s fast-growing light commercial vehicle sector. In a competitive category, our specialist LCV team continued an incredible seven-year winning streak (five as LeasePlan, one in conjunction with ALD) at this year’s event.

Entries were judged on service standards, retention and solutions that make it easier to operate a cost-effective, fuel-efficient LCV fleet. Our win recognises numerous initiatives which have helped identify and alleviate bottlenecks while maximising uptime for mission-critical vehicles.

Growing uptake of our fleet management solutions, including mobile servicing and our UPTime predictive maintenance platform, have resulted in a 100% LCV customer retention rate during 2024.

Chris Black, Commercial Director at Ayvens said: “This kind of recognition is only possible by the sheer hard work and dedication to serving our fleet clients, every day with great support, advice and services to help them deliver in their businesses. So very proud of everyone at Ayvens for securing this recognition.”

Ayvens was born from the merger of LeasePlan and ALD Automotive, combining the expertise of both companies to create a market-leading proposition for fleets, who are facing an increasingly complex and highly regulated landscape.
