09:30 AM - 09:40 AM   Welcome & Agenda

​

Session 1: ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

 

09:40 AM - 10:00 AM   Understanding the impact of the global economic outlook on LatAm fleet management

​

The geopolitical challenges caused by the war in Ukraine, the economic aftermath of the pandemic, surging interest rates and energy prices, and the natural resource crisis and climate change challenge. What are the global economic prospects, and what do they mean for your LatAm business?

​

With : 

• Adrián Garza Patiño, CFA, VP-Sr Credit Officer at Moody’s Global Project Finance and Infrastructure Group.

​

Session 2: TURNING TODAY’S MARKET CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES

 

10:00 AM - 10:30 AM   Overcoming fleet supply challenges in Latin America

​

The chip shortage and natural resource crisis are global economic problems, so their effects transcend the fleet and automotive ecosystem. However, they are causing enormous issues – for fleet managers and fleet suppliers alike. Vehicle scarcity pushes up prices, resulting in higher TCO and more pressure on the used-car market. What can suppliers and corporate fleet managers do? We’ll find out in this panel discussion.

10:30 AM - 10:50 AM   New Trends & Success Stories in corporate commuting

The way employees commute to work has dramatically changed after covid and soaring gas prices. In this new scenario, companies are compelled to find cost-efficient solutions for their employees' commute, if they want to retain their workforce while controlling their costs. In this session, we will discuss the new trends in urban and suburban commuting and will present a series of success stories from different top-tier multinational companies that have managed to efficiently optimize their employees’ commute through innovative technology and management solutions.

​

11:10 AM - 11:40 AM Mastering Fuel Efficiency across LatAm

In a volatile environment characterised by surging fuel and energy prices, managing fuel costs is extremely complex. Nevertheless, it’s the job of every fleet manager to look out for and implement solutions that are TCO-beneficial. So, what can you do?

Session 3: INTERNATIONALISE YOUR LATAM PROGRAMME

 

12:00 AM - 12:20 PM Unlocking the benefits of an international fleet strategy

​

Managing a fleet is often done locally, but when you have subsidiaries and activities in various countries, you can achieve multiple benefits by setting up a regional/international strategy. These include: cost efficiency, harmonisation, and transparency.

But how do you develop the right LatAm strategy and policy for your fleet? In this session, you will learn from the best. Tania Mijas, Fleet LatAm Manager of the Year 2021, will share her global procurement expertise, with special attention for the elements that are regionally applicable, and those that are locally-driven.

 

With:

• Tania Mijas, 2021 Fleet LatAm Manager of the Year

​

12:20 PM - 1:00 PM Benefiting from outsourcing and leasing in LatAm  

​

Do what you’re good at. Know your core business, pick your goals and stay focused. That’s the common rule for success, for every company. Translated to fleet, it could mean that some elements should be outsourced, such as vehicle financing, maintenance and repair, driver management, etc.

For many years, fleet management outsourcing and vehicle leasing has been gaining popularity across Latin America, but the potential for further growth is still high. At the same time, leasing and fleet management companies need to adapt their business model to respond to new trends and customer demands. In this session, we will discover how you can benefit from an international fleet approach in LatAm, to make your fleet programme cost-efficient and future-proof.

 

Panel discussion with:

• Kent Bjertrup, Regional Director Latin America, ALD

• Manuel Tamayo, Country Head Mexico, Element Fleet Management

• Regina Granados, CEO Mexico, LeasePlan

• Ricardo de Bolle, Global Business Development Director Latam region, Arval

• João Andrade, Managing Director, Localiza Fleet Solutions

​

Session 4: SAFETY AND CONNECTIVITY GO HAND IN HAND

​

02:00 PM - 02:30 PM   Building blocks for a winning safety strategy

​

Wherever you are, live or work: safety is paramount. And your employees are your most important assets. However, setting up and implementing a corporate safety culture that is supported from top to bottom can still be a challenge. In this session, you will hear how to set up a safety strategy that leads to results.

​

With:

• Rocío Rivas, Managing Consultant, Mobility & Road Safety, CEPA Mobility

​

02:30 PM - 03:00 PM   Connectivity, the engine for fleet management success

​

Like the vehicle itself, vehicle fleet management is becoming ever more digital. The digital revolution is underpinning more efficient employee mobility, while connectivity and telematics benefit employee safety, asset utilisation, fleet electrification and right-fuelling, and ultimately cost control. In this session, you will discover how connected technology is the right fit for future-proof and sustainable fleet management.  

​

With:

• Maria del Pilar Bonilla, Channel Marketing Manager Latin America, Lytx

​

03:00 PM - 03:30 PM   Networking Coffee Break

​

03:30 PM - 04:00 PM Successfully mandating fleet insurance

​

Preventing safety issues is one, efficiently managing them when they occur is something else. For the latter, you need a dedicated insurance strategy. However, corporate fleet insurance programmes are difficult to structure in Latin America, where too many drivers are uninsured. This session will give insight into successfully deploying and mandating fleet insurance across LatAm.

 

With:

• Diego Mendez Onate, Business Line Director Auto, Axa

​

Session 5: MOBILITY AS A BENEFIT

​

04:00 PM - 04:20 PM   How digital technology can help your company have a safer, cost-efficient and sustainable mobility.

The new global landscape of health and environmental crisis, coupled with rising fuel prices, has forced companies to question the traditional models of mobility and use of corporate buildings. Digital technology has become a key tool to help companies of all sizes turn these problems into a huge opportunity to reduce their personnel transportation cost making it much more efficient and sustainable than ever before.

​

With:

• Pablo Alvéstegui Seelenfreund, Co founder, AllRide Mobility Inc.

​

04:20 PM - 04:50 PM  How to transcend fleet management with Mobility as a Benefit

​

Trends in the compensation and benefits ecosystem are evolving in parallel with those in the corporate fleet and mobility world. Both are driven by the introduction of Working from Home and new consumer behaviour. Fundamentally, it’s about moving from ‘fixed’ to ‘flexible’. This transition is complex - yet not impossible.
