Report Coverage

This report focuses on fleet management in South Africa, and includes comprehensive information on the state of the industry, notable players, developments such as technological advancements and the growing ecommerce sector, corporate actions and information on the state of the vehicle industry, on which the fleet management industry depends. There are profiles of 43 companies including the major players Cartrack, MiX Telematics, Tracker, Netstar and Ctrack, state-owned companies operating in the sector such as g-FleeT Management and Transnet, and private companies such as Motus, Super Group, OneLogix, Value Logistics and WesBank.

Fleet Management in South Africa

Fleet management is becoming increasingly important for organisations in a world of changing mobility. Fleet management has developed into a multi-billion-rand industry in South Africa in recent years. South Africa has a relatively mature market and the penetration rate is relatively high. A notable share of installed fleet management systems in the market is represented by comparably low-end tracking systems, such as stolen vehicle tracking devices with extended basic fleet management features.

Competition

South Africa has a very competitive market, with JSE-listed companies, private companies and fleet management divisions of many of the major commercial banks competing for market share. The industry is largely dominated by five key players, with broad vehicle telematic portfolios, that together represent 70% of the total fleet management market. The remainder of the market is comprised of various minor market share participants. In recent years several international commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have entered the market or substantially expanded their fleet management operations.

Trends

New technology has helped increase fleet efficiency and improve operations, and there have been advancements in vehicle telematics, eco-friendly fleets, digital management schemes and online communication. Other trends include adaption to remote fleet management, new safety, security and sanitisation measures, increased data access and visibility and increased reliance on 5G technology.

Report Coverage

This report on Fleet Management includes information on the size and state of the sector and major influencing factors including the effects of coronavirus, economic factors and corporate actions and developments. There are comprehensive profiles of 34 companies including players in the banking sector such as Absa Vehicle Management Solutions, Bidvest Bank and First National Bank’s FNB Fleet Services, privately-owned and JSE-listed players including Eqstra (enX) and Fleet Africa (Super Group), Motus Corporation, Dikala Group and telematics players such as Cartrack, MiX Telematics, Ctrack and Netstar.

Fleet Management

In the fleet management industry, privately owned, JSE-listed players and the fleet management divisions of the major commercial banks compete for market share in a market where the major customer segments – car rentals, government, companies and couriers – have been severely affected by the coronavirus lockdown and weak economic growth. These factors may lead to a reduction in fleets.

Challenging Environment

The operating environment in the past two years was characterised by low consumer confidence, declining vehicle sales and a lengthening vehicle replacement cycle. Role players expect slow growth in future, driven by a decrease in demand as outsourcing to individuals by e-commerce traders and ride-hailing companies persists. Since June 2020 when the lockdown rules were relaxed and e-commerce resumed, the demand for courier services increased to the extent that there was a shortage of delivery vehicles, but not all couriers have their own fleets.

State-owned Fleet Management

Government is involved in the industry through the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport’s vehicle leasing and fleet management services business trading as G-Fleet Management, with over 420,000 vehicles in 2019, and Government Motor Transport Western Cape, that provides fleet management services to provincial and national government departments and had a fleet of almost 6,000 vehicles in 2019.

Report Coverage

The Fleet Management report discusses current conditions including the increasing importance of technology and the use of telematics to improve the overall service provided by companies in the sector. Corporate actions, opportunities for SMMEs and factors influencing the success of the sector are discussed. Profiles for 28 role players are provided. These include new entrants such as 58Fleet (Pty) Ltd, which was launched in 2017 following a partnership between Imperial group’s Motus Corporation and Southern Palace group.

Fleet Management

The report on the fleet management sector covers the management of corporate and government fleets, with a focus on passenger cars. In this growing sector there are more than 40 fleet management companies with varying experience, business models and service levels. They include international providers, as well as local businesses and compete for contracts from national and local government as well as the corporate sector.

An Administrative Function

Fleet management is an administrative approach that allows companies to organise and coordinate their fleet of vehicles in order to improve efficiency, reduce costs and provide compliance with government regulations. The management of fleets is either undertaken by the company itself or an agreement is set up with a fleet management company to take over all or some of the risk. When all of the risk is taken over under full management leasing, control of a fleet occurs in four main areas: acquisition; operations; remarketing; and cost management.

Report Coverage

The Fleet Management report details the current state of the sector, recent corporate activity and contracts awarded, and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report also profiles ten players in the market, including the seven main companies that offer FML services: Absa Vehicle Management Solutions; the Barloworld subsidiary, Zeda Car Leasing t/a Avis Fleet Services; Bidvest Bank; Eqstra Fleet Management, the product of an Imperial unbundling in 2008; FleetAfrica, which is part of SuperGroup; Imperial Fleet Management, the result of a joint venture between Imperial and Wesbank in 2010; Standard Bank Fleet Management; and Wesbank.

Fleet Management in South Africa

This report focuses on the fleet management sector, a highly competitive sector, where players vie to manage the fleets of corporations and government agencies. An estimated 11% of a total vehicle population of 11.5 million vehicles are lease passenger vehicles and approximately 70% of all new cars purchased are for the corporate market.

A competitive Environment

Of South Africa’s corporate fleet of 1.3 million passenger cars, an estimated 100,000 vehicles are on a full management leasing (FML) arrangement. While this figure remains low in comparison to international standards, there is a growing market awareness of the need for fleet management products and services. Companies are expected to provide integrated systems which encompass all aspects of managing a fleet, including the provision of finance, driver management and training, maintenance of the vehicles, the payment of fines, and e-toll administration.

Challenges and Opportunity

With fleet operating costs currently increasing at 12% per annum a year and input costs expected to increase as a result of the fall of the Rand, fleet management companies are considering the acquisition of companies essential in the value chain, as well as the implementation of cost-cutting strategies. Expansion into sub-Saharan Africa is viewed as a promising opportunity as there is less competition and the promise of good returns.
