Twelve key strategies will transform the industry

Several objectives are associated with the objectives of the AFP, primarily the transformation of the fleet profession.

Primary among these is to provide the tools and assistance required to transform the role of fleet professional into a career one strives toward as part of their career path.

The AFP will support and develop fleet professionals while elevating the profession. This will have numerous results including road safety promotion, greater efficiency, and a sustainable transport sector. The role of a fleet professional will become something one aspires to rather than finding themselves in this role unintentionally.

  1. Professional development: learning opportunities to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving industry.
  2. Industry standard and best practice: raise the standards of the profession by establishing and promoting industry standards.
  3. Networking and knowledge sharing: break the isolation fleet managers might find oneself in by sharing experiences, solutions and insights.
  4. Advocacy and representation: the AFP will be a unified voice for fleet professionals.
  5. Career advancement: developing the credibility of the profession will play a major role in assisting fleet managers in growing their careers.
  6. Address local challenges: South Africa is vastly different to many first world countries, thus, while some international best practice is applicable, others need to account for local circumstances, which the AFP is tailored for.
  7. Promoting environmental sustainability: as the importance on eco-friendly practices and technologies grows, the AFP will help fleet professionals lead the way in implementation.
  8. Bridge the skills gap: targeted training and development programs, including formal academic development, will decrease this gap.
  9. Enhanced business value: the AFP will assist in the drive to reduce costs and improve efficiency thus illustrating the fleet manager’s value to the organisation.
  10. Foster innovation: accesses to the latest technology is available through the AFP
  11. Support economic growth: improvement of the fleet management sector will result in positive economic impacts for the economy as well.
  12. Support system: the AFP will be a source of mentorship, guidance and camaraderie in a tough industry.
