Hi, Rachel here

As Fleetmaxx Solutions' Advanced FORS Practitioner, I spend a lot of my time working with transport operators who are looking for practical ways to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and maintain the high standards expected of FORS-accredited fleets.

One thing I have learned over the years is that successful fleet management is often about getting the basics right. Fuel, AdBlue®, compliance, reporting, and vehicle performance can all have a significant impact on your bottom line. Small improvements across these areas can quickly add up to substantial savings.

That is why I am delighted to offer FORS members access to a range of products, services, and exclusive discounts designed to help make fleet management easier, more efficient, and more cost-effective.

Fuel cards that can help reduce your fleet costs

For most fleet operators, fuel remains one of the largest operating expenses. Even relatively small savings per litre can have a significant impact over the course of a year.

At Fleetmaxx Solutions, we work with many of the UK's leading fuel card networks, including Shell, Esso, Texaco, Keyfuels, UK Fuels, FuelGenie, Tesco, and Morrisons. This allows us to recommend the right solution for your business rather than trying to make one fuel card fit every fleet.

Depending on your network and vehicle usage, many FORS members can achieve savings of up to 10p per litre on diesel and petrol purchases.

Our fuel card solutions also provide valuable management information, allowing you to monitor fuel spend, track usage patterns, simplify administration, and gain greater visibility of fleet costs.

As a special benefit for FORS members, we also offer half-price fuel cards on selected products.*

Whether you run a small van fleet, a mixed commercial vehicle operation, or a large HGV fleet, my team and I will be happy to carry out a free fuel analysis to identify the most suitable fuel card solution for your business.

Save up to 50% on AdBlue®

As many FORS operators know, AdBlue® has become a significant operating cost in recent years.

What makes Fleetmaxx Solutions slightly different is that we manufacture our own licensed AdBlue® under the Fleetblue® brand. By supplying directly from the manufacturer, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and distribution costs wherever possible.

The result is a high-quality AdBlue® product at highly competitive prices.

Many of our customers are achieving savings of up to 50% compared to purchasing AdBlue® from motorway service stations and retail forecourts.

We can supply everything from small packs for vans and light commercial vehicles through to drums, IBCs, bulk deliveries, storage tanks, and smart tank monitoring systems for larger fleets.

All Fleetblue® AdBlue® is produced to ISO 22241 standards, giving you complete confidence in product quality and vehicle compatibility.

For operators managing larger fleets, we can also provide bulk AdBlue® supply solutions, helping reduce administration, improve stock control, and ensure vehicles always have access to the AdBlue® they need to remain compliant and operational.

The free AdBlue Diesel Ratio Calculator

One area that is becoming increasingly important for FORS members is monitoring and recording AdBlue® consumption.

Understanding how much AdBlue® your vehicles are using compared to diesel consumption can provide valuable insight into vehicle health, emissions system performance, and overall fleet efficiency.

Working alongside transport consultancy expert Steve Hale, we developed our free AdBlue Diesel Ratio Calculator to help fleet operators gain greater visibility of their AdBlue® usage.

The tool allows you to compare diesel and AdBlue® consumption quickly and easily, creating a clear ratio that can help identify vehicles that may require further investigation.

For example, unusually high or unusually low AdBlue® consumption can sometimes indicate issues that could benefit from further inspection before they become expensive repairs, breakdowns, or compliance concerns.

The calculator provides fleet managers, transport managers, and compliance teams with a simple way to create clear and consistent records that can support internal reporting, fleet reviews, FORS audits, and wider compliance processes.

Many fleet operators tell me they simply want a quick and reliable way to monitor AdBlue® usage without complicated spreadsheets or time-consuming calculations. That is exactly why we created the tool.

Combined with our licensed Fleetblue® AdBlue® supply service, the calculator helps operators gain greater control over both their AdBlue® costs and their vehicle emissions systems.

Looking forward to seeing you at the FORS Annual Conference

I am also very much looking forward to attending the FORS Annual Conference and catching up with friends, colleagues, and familiar faces from across the industry.

The conference is always one of the highlights of the year, bringing together fleet operators, transport professionals, compliance specialists, and industry experts who are all working towards the same goal of creating safer, smarter, more efficient, and more compliant fleets.

It is a fantastic opportunity to discuss the latest developments in transport, compliance, technology, sustainability, and fleet management, while sharing ideas and learning from the experiences of other operators.

Most importantly, I am looking forward to meeting new FORS members and hearing about the challenges and opportunities they face within their businesses. Every fleet is different, and I always enjoy discussing practical ways to help operators reduce costs, improve efficiency, strengthen compliance, and get the maximum value from their FORS accreditation.

I will be attending alongside our transport consultancy partner, Steve Hale, and together we will be available to discuss a wide range of fleet-related topics, including fuel card savings, AdBlue® management, fleet compliance, transport consultancy services, FORS support, and our free AdBlue Diesel Ratio Calculator.

If you are attending the conference, please do come and say hello. Whether you are an existing customer, a long-standing industry contact, or a new FORS member looking for advice, I would be delighted to meet you and explore how Fleetmaxx Solutions can support your fleet.
