Indeed, FORS director John Hix says some smaller fleet operators will see a reduction in their FORS subscriptions as rates are restructured for companies with one to five vehicles.
From 17 February 2017, FORS will apply a flat rate of £80 per vehicle for fleets with up to five vehicles. A discount of £15 will be applied to single-vehicle operators, who will pay a reduced fee of £65.
Existing operators running fleets of three vehicles will have their subscriptions held at their current rate for 2017.
Subscription fee structures for larger fleets, along with costs for initial and annual follow-up audits, also remain at 2015 rates.
“What this shows is that FORS is very much in tune with the operating community and the demands it faces with the cost of running commercial vehicle fleets – whatever their size and make-up,” insists Hix.
“We enjoyed a good deal of positive feedback at our FORS Members’ Conference, and, quite rightly, operating costs were uppermost in the minds of members,” he adds.
