Fleet News is launching a new magazine promising to provide insight, analysis and best practice to commercial vehicle operators.

Commercial Fleet is a monthly magazine that will replace Fleet Van.

It will have a circulation of 15,000 van and truck operators and will also be available as a free digital magazine which can be accessed via the new website at commercialfleet.org.

The first edition will be published on April 30, while the website goes live on March 30.

Fleet News and Commercial Fleet editor-in-chief Stephen Briers said: “Commercial Fleet is an important launch for us. We recognise that many of our van fleet readers also operate trucks and so, after consultation with many of them, we have taken the decision to launch a magazine dedicated to helping them run safer, legal and more cost-efficient fleets irrespective of the size of the commercial vehicle.”

The readership will consist of decision makers running fleets of at least five vehicles, from light commercials to heavy rigid body trucks. Job functions will range from transport managers to traffic office to engineering teams.

The Commercial Fleet portfolio will include a monthly magazine, website and events, including the Commercial Fleet Summit on September 24 at the Telford International Centre, followed in the evening by the Commercial Fleet Awards.

Briers added: “Although we are increasing our focus on trucks, vans will still be at the heart of our insight and analysis in Commercial Fleet. However, we will be able to better share best practice among the operators of heavier vehicles while cascading their knowledge to those running smaller vans.”
