Business Case: Long Term Rental with Drivers for the Cercle Vert Group

The Cercle Vert Group, a major player in the distribution of products for catering professionals in Ile de France, called on PRÉVOTÉ to support it in the management and optimization of its transport.

In a sector where punctuality and reliability of deliveries are essential, Cercle Vert has chosen to outsource part of its fleet by adopting our vehicle rental solution with drivers.

The main objective was to ensure efficient distribution while adapting to new environmental requirements, particularly in the context of Low Emission Zones (ZFE).

PREVOTÉ has ​​deployed a diversified fleet to meet the specific needs of the Cercle Vert Group, combining performance and compliance with ecological standards. In addition to traditional Euro VII standard diesel vehicles, we have integrated several alternative engine solutions, allowing the customer to improve their carbon footprint and anticipate regulatory developments:

• B100 vehicles : These trucks running on biodiesel make it possible to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions while maintaining optimal autonomy and operational efficiency. They offer an immediate solution to reduce the environmental footprint without modifying existing infrastructure
• Electric vehicles : We have integrated electric trucks dedicated to urban tours, offering a clean and quiet alternative for city center deliveries. These vehicles reduce noise and local emissions while benefiting from autonomy adapted to the distribution needs of Cercle Vert
• Volta Zero : As a pioneer of new transport technologies, PREVOTÉ provides the Volta Zéro, a 100% electric vehicle designed specifically for distribution in urban areas. Featuring an innovative design and a low cabin offering increased visibility for drivers, this truck improves safety while ensuring a reduced carbon footprint.

Thanks to the integration of vehicles running on B100, electric and Volta Zero, the Cercle Vert Group significantly reduces its greenhouse gas emissions and complies with ZFE requirements. This transition allows the group to strengthen its commitment to sustainable development and improve its image with its customers and partners.

Renting with drivers allows Cercle Vert to adapt to fluctuations in its activity without incurring the investment costs linked to the purchase and maintenance of its own fleet. PREVOTÉ takes care of all vehicle management, including maintenance, insurance and regulatory monitoring, thus guaranteeing operational continuity and budget optimization.

With clean vehicles that comply with environmental standards, the Cercle Vert Group can continue to deliver with complete peace of mind to Parisian urban centers subject to traffic restrictions. Anticipating legal developments helps avoid business interruptions and guarantee the fluidity of delivery operations.

Our drivers are recruited and trained specifically to the requirements of transporting products for catering. They are made aware of good eco-responsible driving practices and the particularities of alternative vehicles, thus ensuring a quality, secure service that meets customer expectations.

The collaboration between PREVOTÉ and the Cercle Vert Group illustrates the benefit of a transition towards more sustainable transport solutions while guaranteeing efficient logistics. By integrating B100, electric and Volta Zero vehicles, we enable our client to meet current and future environmental requirements, while maintaining an efficient and reliable delivery service. This approach is part of a process of modernization and optimization of transport, offering Cercle Vert a sustainable competitive advantage in its sector.
