Fuel Card Distribution through Leasing Companies
Datamonitor, July 2007, Pages: 23
Financing company vehicle fleets through operational leasing contracts is popular across Europe and management services are often provided in the agreements. Fuel card issuers are taking advantage of this trend, using leasing companies as a distributor for their cards. This brief assesses growth in the sector, identifies the main players within it and the key relationships with card providers.
Scope of this title:
Analysis of the size of the fleet leasing market segment Ned by operational leasing, finance leasing and outright purchases. Forecasts of operational fleet leasing vehicle numbers across Europe to 2011 relative to the overall company car market. Insight into the size of operational leasing market oil company card providers have access to through their relationships with leasing companies. An overview of the remaining partnership opportunities for card providers and leasing companies.
Highlights of this title:
Between 2003 and 2006 the number of operational leasing cars grew by 660,000 across Europe, creating numerous opportunities for leasing companies and affiliated service providers. The growth is greatest in Poland, Austria and Hungary. Oil card providers, including BP and Shell, have gained access to a high percentage of the leased vehicle parc through partnerships with fleet lessors such as LeasePlan and ALD Automotive. These relationships have enabled some fuel card issuers to distribute their cards to up to half of the operational leasing fleet within selected markets. There are many remaining opportunities for fuel card issuers to enter into partnerships with operational fleet lessors. The sheer number of fleet lessors in the large Western European markets provides numerous opportunities as does the fast growing Central and Eastern European markets.

While South Australia and Victoria lead the way in customer switching, conditions vary across the States and the recent hike in wholesale prices is holding back retailers, especially new entrants, in competing effectively. This brief examines switching trends across the countrys competitive States, customers drivers for switching, the most effective and preferred channels and future prospects.
Scope of this title:
Survey of 2000 households in Australia conducted in May 2007 regarding their switching behaviours and preferences, with comparisons with a 2005 survey Breakdown of responses by State, age group, spend and switching status. Specific analysis of intentions of households in Queensland.
Highlights of this title:
While price and specific financial incentives, such as loyalty or sign-on bonuses, are the most influential in attracting customers, dual fuel is a key factor in customers decisions when choosing a new supplier. Of all respondents with both electricity and mains gas that had switched, 73% were supplied both gas and electricity by the same utility. Door-to-door sales are by far the most effective, initiating the most recent switch for 58% of switchers. The telephone is only really effective for existing customers, and using telemarketers for new customer acquisition is more challenging after the establishment of the Do Not Call Registry, which attracted a million users in its first month. In Queensland, those in metropolitan areas and with larger bills were by far the more likely to seek out a new supplier in order to switch in the first six months of competition. However, with high wholesale prices, the number of competitors to AGL and Origin Energy is likely to be limited purely to those with a strong hedge position.
Reasons to order your copy:
Identify key sources of information for consumers when switching and the effectiveness of various offers in encouraging customers to switch. Understand the reasons behind customers not switching, how these have changed over time, and how to overcome them. Evaluate the potential for further switching by State, including anticipated customer switching in the newly-opened Queensland market.
