What FATEC does

FATEC Group is a privately-held French independent fleet management company headquartered in Marseille that delivers outsourced operational, technical and strategic fleet services to large private enterprises and public-sector organizations across France and, more recently, Spain. Its core services span Fleet Management (orders, LLD contract monitoring, fuel cards, fines, restitution), Fleet Technique (maintenance, repair, invoice control for VP, VUL and VI), Fleet Greening (Loi LOM compliance, electro-compatibility studies, decarbonation trajectories) and Bornes de Recharge (IRVE-certified charging infrastructure deployment), complemented by a Pôle Conseil offering Car Policy redesign, fleet audits, AMOA and Employer Mobility Plans. The company is the incumbent provider on the UGAP public-procurement framework (renewed July 2023 for four years, covering 150+ clients and 18,000 light vehicles) and manages SNCF's 25,000-vehicle fleet under a renewed 4+4-year contract from January 2025.

FATEC operates a proprietary technology stack anchored by Mobipilot (a reporting and piloting dashboard that centralizes fleet technical and financial data), Copilot (a driver-facing mobile application that incorporates AI-powered vehicle inspection via the Tchek partnership) and the ZFE Fleet Mapper (a domain-specific tool mapping Low-Emission-Zone restrictions by Crit'Air vignette). The company is progressively deploying Microsoft Copilot M365 and Power Platform for internal automation, and is rolling out AI-based damage estimation for pre-restitution, intra-company transfers and post-accident assessment, with FATEC's technical plateau validating the AI-generated estimates.

The business model is a hybrid of managed services (per managed vehicle, per fleet scope, billed on annual subscriptions) and professional services (project-based electrification and consulting engagements). Distribution is sales-led: a dedicated commercial team runs enterprise field sales in France, while the UGAP framework acts as the primary channel into the public sector, and a joint venture with Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility (Fleet Mobility Group España, formed October 2024) serves as the international expansion channel into Spain and Western Europe. Pricing is bespoke; no public pricing exists.

Core offering

FATEC is an independent French fleet management company that outsourced the operational and technical administration of corporate and public-sector vehicle fleets (cars, light utility vehicles, industrial vehicles). Its core offerings are outsourced fleet operations (orders, LLD contracts, driver cards, fuel cards, fines, restitution) and technical fleet management (maintenance coordination, repair negotiations, invoice control), delivered with proprietary digital tools Mobipilot and Copilot.

Product overview

FATEC is an independent fleet management company offering a modular, multi-service platform. Its core offerings are Fleet Management (outsourced operational fleet administration — orders, contracts, fines, driver relations, restitution) and Fleet Technique (technical maintenance and repair management for VP, VUL, and VI categories). These are supported by specialized modules: Copilot (driver-facing app), Mobipilot (fleet reporting and dashboards), ZFE Fleet Mapper (Low-Emission Zone compliance mapping), and Just Repair (damage assessment and restitution optimization). A dedicated Verdissement de Flotte service handles fleet energy transition and decarbonization roadmapping, paired with a Bornes de Recharge module for charging infrastructure deployment. The Plan de Mobilité Employeur and Missions de Conseil (Car Policy, audits, AMOA) complete the consulting layer. The Tchek AI-powered vehicle inspection feature is embedded directly in the Copilot driver app.

Products and services

• Fleet Management (Gestion opérationnelle externalisée) Fully outsourced operational fleet management acting as a single point of contact for vehicle orders, LLD (long-term lease) contract monitoring, benchmark comparisons across leasing companies, fleet card management, fine processing, driver relations, and end-of-contract restitution coordination for corporate and public-sector clients.
• Fleet Technique (Gestion technique) Technical fleet management covering VP (private vehicles), VUL (light commercial vehicles) and VI (industrial vehicles). Includes maintenance coordination, repair quote negotiation, invoice verification, regulatory compliance checks, tire management, and breakdown/towing services.
• Verdissement de Flotte Fleet greening and energy-transition advisory service covering electro-compatibility studies, decarbonization roadmapping, EV selection support, and coordination of charging infrastructure installation to help companies comply with Loi LOM low-emission vehicle quotas (20% by 2024, 40% by 2027, 70% by 2030).
• Bornes de Recharge (Charging infrastructure management) End-to-end charging infrastructure service encompassing technical audit, IRVE-certified installer selection, civil-engineering and electrical connection works management, smart-charging supervision software, maintenance planning and ongoing operational support for workplace and employee-home charging.

• SNCFflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2025FATEC has managed SNCF's fleet since 2002. The contract was renewed in January 2025 for 4 years firm plus 4 optional years, covering 25,000 vehicles and machines (95% light vehicles) across all SNCF entities and subsidiaries. FATEC provides technical and administrative fleet management (maintenance, restitution support, driver relations) plus strategic consulting. Nine thematic projects are planned for 2025-2026 including fuel card security, technical expense optimization, RSE (repair vs. replace, CO2 objectives), vehicle downtime reduction, and regulatory compliance.
• Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & MobilityflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 16 October 2024FATEC and Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility formed a joint venture, Fleet Mobility Group España S.L. (FMGE), to offer fleet management services to the banking group's clients in Western Europe. Starting October 16, 2024, the joint service covers full fleet management (administrative and technical) for both light and industrial vehicles, complementing Crédit Agricole's existing leasing solutions via CA Auto Bank, Drivalia, Agilauto, and Leasys. FATEC had been managing Crédit Agricole's own fleet for 10 years before expanding to client-facing services.
• TchekcoreTechnology or Integration · 1 October 2024FATEC partnered with Tchek, a deeptech company specializing in AI-based vehicle inspection, to offer a new vehicle condition reporting service to FATEC clients. The Tchek solution is accessible via the Copilot driver app through a 'Carrosserie' button. Drivers capture 10-15 photos (3-5 minutes) using smartphone camera with overlay guidance. FATEC's technical plateau then reviews and adjusts AI-generated damage estimates against lessor specifications. The service applies to pre-restitution inspections, inter-vehicle transfers, and accident damage estimation, helping clients minimize restitution costs.
• EnviroearthminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 1 January 2024Enviroearth, an environmental consultancy near Aix-en-Provence, engaged FATEC's mobility consulting pole to develop a customized Employer Mobility Plan (Plan de Mobilité Employeur). FATEC conducted a mobility diagnostic, co-constructed an action plan with employees (bike parking, carpooling app, internal communication), and supported deployment. This was a consulting project aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of employee commuting for a ~20-person company.

Direct peers

• Arval: Arval (BNP Paribas) is a leading European corporate vehicle leasing and fleet management provider. It is a primary competitor to FATEC for enterprise and public-sector fleet management contracts in France and beyond, although Arval operates a captive lessor model rather than FATEC's independent model.
• Ayvens: Ayvens was formed from the merger of ALD Automotive (Société Générale) and LeasePlan and is one of Europe's largest full-service fleet management and leasing players. It competes head-to-head with FATEC for large enterprise fleet mandates, with overlapping service scope (operational, technical, advisory) across France.
• Element Fleet Management: Element Fleet Management is the largest independent global fleet management company. Its business model — neutral, outsourced operational and technical fleet management for enterprise clients — most closely mirrors FATEC's positioning and would be a useful template for FATEC's international expansion via FMGE.
• Optimum Automotive: Optimum Automotive is a France-based fleet management and telematics specialist serving enterprise and SME fleets. It is a direct French-market competitor to FATEC, with comparable offerings across operational fleet management, telematics, and consulting.
• Wheels: Wheels (part of Holman) is a US-based independent fleet management company with a similar outsourced, neutral-intermediary model. It is relevant as a peer for the underlying business model rather than geographic overlap.

Broad incumbents

• Holman: Holman is a broad automotive services group (leasing, fleet management, parts, retail) encompassing Wheels. It is comparable as an incumbent with a wider portfolio that competes with FATEC for large enterprise fleet mandates at the parent-group level.

Emerging players

• Chevin Fleet Solutions: Chevin Fleet Solutions provides SaaS fleet management software (FleetWave) used by enterprise and government fleet operators. It overlaps with the Mobipilot/Copilot layer of FATEC's stack and represents a software-centric alternative model.

Others

• Geotab: Geotab is a leading global telematics and connected-vehicle platform used by enterprise fleets. It is an enabling/ecosystem participant whose technology can be embedded by FATEC (as Kuantic and SoFleet already are in the UGAP offering) or by competitors building competing fleet management stacks.
• Webfleet (Bridgestone): Webfleet, owned by Bridgestone, is a major European telematics and fleet management software provider. It competes at the technology layer that underpins modern fleet management services and serves as both a potential partner and a competitive substitute for FATEC's Mobipilot/Copilot platform.

Regional players

• Crédit Agricole Auto Bank / Agilauto / Drivalia: Crédit Agricole's captive leasing brands (CA Auto Bank, Agilauto, Drivalia, Leasys) are simultaneously partners in FMGE and competitors in fleet management. Their bundled leasing-plus-management offerings are the primary captive alternative to FATEC's independent model in France and Southern Europe.
