GM’s Maven selects Element to maintain car-sharing fleet
Element Fleet Management said Wednesday it has been chosen to provide maintenance and accident services for General Motors’ Maven personal mobility program.
When a vehicle within the Maven car-sharing fleet needs repairs or maintenance, a Maven employee or the driver of the vehicle can take it to one of the more than 37,000 maintenance services providers in Element’s fleet maintenance and repair network.
Additionally, Element will provide accident services for the Maven fleet.
“Maven’s growth as a dynamic mobility platform has been remarkable over the two years since we launched. Element is helping Maven ensure our members can be there for the moments that matter by ensuring our vehicles are well maintained,” Julia Steyn, vice president, General Motors Urban Mobility and Maven, said in a news release.
“Element is one of the world’s leading fleet managing companies, and this experience makes them an ideal partner to support our customers as we continue to grow,” she said.
Kristi Webb, who is the president and chief executive officer of Element Fleet Management, North America, added: “Our analytics-driven services and hands-on fleet management strategies are designed to keep all fleets on the road, but are especially critical for the Maven brand as they work to bring cost-effective car-sharing to more cities.
“Personal mobility and car sharing are changing the way people and businesses engage with their communities and serve customers — and this demands that we adapt core fleet managing practices to a changing world,” Webb said. “We are extremely pleased to work with Maven to make this happen.”
