Awards 2026 for the second year running! We\u2019re also proud to be Highly Commended for Customer Service, after being shortlisted in a total of four categories, including Innovation and Remarketing Company of the Year. These honours reflect what matters most to us: listening to our customers and delivering strategies that make a measurable difference.<\/p>\n<p>The What Van? Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the light commercial vehicle sector. For Holman, these awards underscore the priorities that will shape fleet management in 2026: managing costs, leveraging data and analytics, and preparing for a zero-emission future.<\/p>\n<h2>Reducing Downtime and Managing Costs<\/h2>\n<p>When vehicles are off the road, the impact goes far beyond repair bills. It\u2019s lost productivity, additional rental costs, driver disengagement, and reputational risk.<br \/>\nIndustry benchmarks indicate an average downtime of 7.2 days, but our customers are achieving an average of just 2.57 days, thanks to predictive maintenance, our <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/fleet-management\/maintenance-management\/\">Pay-As-You-Go maintenance model<\/a>, and our expert teams. This approach provides fleets with greater control over repair costs without locking them into rigid contracts \u2013 a priority for businesses seeking to remain agile and keep costs down.<\/p>\n<h2>Electrification at Scale<\/h2>\n<p>With ZEV Mandate targets approaching as well as internal company sustainability goals, fleets are accelerating their transition to electric vehicles. Our work with BT Group to roll out 5,000 EVs shows what\u2019s possible when planning and execution align. From funding strategies to charging infrastructure, we\u2019re helping fleets overcome barriers and <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/electric-vehicles\/\">move confidently toward zero-emission<\/a> goals.<\/p>\n<h2>Technology and Driver Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Behind every fleet is a team of people. That\u2019s why we design technology that\u2019s easy to use, easy to access, and built around real-world challenges. The Holman Driver App was created in collaboration with customers and drivers to make staying connected effortless &#8211; simplifying tasks like booking maintenance or requesting support. With integrated telematics providing managers real-time visibility, these tools help fleets stay compliant and efficient. And as the technology and needs evolve, we\u2019ll continue to build on this foundation to deliver solutions that grow with the industry\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>As 2026 unfolds, the challenge for fleets will be balancing cost control with innovation, and sustainability with operational practicality. We\u2019re committed to driving what\u2019s right for your fleet \u2013 through solutions that reduce downtime, manage costs, and support the transition to EVs.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/contact\/\">Talk to our team<\/a> about how our award-winning approach can help you maximise fleet performance and prepare for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<style>\n\tsection{margin:0;}\n\tp img{display:block !important;}\nsection.resource-wysiwyg{margin:20px 0 0;padding:0;}\nsection.resource-wysiwyg:first-of-type {margin:35px 0 0;padding:0;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p{margin-bottom:16px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg h3{margin-bottom:16px;color:#003057;font-weight:500;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p img{display:block !important;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img{padding:16px 24px;max-width:40%;display:block;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img.alignright{float:right;padding-right:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img.alignleft{float:left;padding-left:0px;}\n#form-container-gated #ebook-form h2, #form-container-gated #ebook-form h3, #form-container-gated #ebook-form h4{margin-top:0px;}\n@media(max-width:600px){section.resource-wysiwyg:first-of-type{margin:16px 0 0;}.resource-wysiwyg img{max-width:50%;height:auto;padding:8px 12px;}}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>Holman has been named Fleet Management Company of the Year at the What Van?
