Tom Rowlands
FLEETCOR Technologies has appointed Tom Rowlands as the group's new managing director of global EV (electric vehicle) solutions.
The company, which owns UK-based fuel and EV management specialist Allstar Business Solutions, said Rowlands would now head up its electric vehicle products worldwide.
Rowlands previously worked within the company as vice president of strategy across Europe, where he helped to build EV management solutions and grow the charging network, which has now reached more than 7,000 charge points in 2,000 locations.
“Having been so involved in helping Allstar build market-leading solutions for electric fleets, I am delighted to head up FLEETCOR’s global EV solutions team and look forward to driving EV adoption for fleets, especially in the UK,” said Rowlands.
“With government-mandated deadlines creeping ever closer, there must be the infrastructure and UK-wide strategy in place to be able to cope with a surge in demand, along with more robust back-end systems that can drive efficiencies for businesses.”
Allstar recently launched Homecharge, which simplifies the payments and management of EV charging at home by providing transaction visibility on one platform.
Alan King, group president, global fleet, at FLEETCOR, added: “Tom’s promotion to a global role demonstrates FLEETCOR’s commitment to expanding its EV footprint and rolling out market-leading products and services.”
