Strategic fleet partner
Automotive Resources International (ARI) was selected to be our strategic fleet partner in 2013. With a dedicated lender we can offer a wide range of vehicle options and have access to industry specialists.
One of the critical objectives of our strategic partnership is to consolidate fleet data collection, fuel maintenance, vehicle utilization and GFG emission. Being able to collect fuel and maintenance data using technology specifically tailored to UBC’s needs, we can gain a clear picture of the fleet’s current state that we can use to make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs, and ultimately save money in the long-term.
