Volvo Car UK has followed its recent launch of direct-to-consumer online used car sales with the launch of Volvo Fleet and Business Online following a successful pilot scheme.

The Swedish premium brand said that the new platform gives fleet and business customers the flexibility and convenience of identifying and sourcing the cars they want in the way that suits them best: online, at a retailer, or through a combination of both.

The service is available for decision-makers in SMEs with fleets of up to 50 vehicles initially, but it will soon expand to include company car drivers, it said.

Kristian Elvefors, Volvo Car UK managing director, said: “We’ve designed this new platform to be as easy and convenient for our business customers as possible.

“With the dedicated online portal, they can access all the information and updates they need, whenever they want and wherever they are.
