Merchants Fleet adds 113 FleetShare vehicles in Puerto Rico

Merchants Fleet has expanded FleetShare, its managed vehicle access program, to Puerto Rico, the company said on Oct. 20. The operation went live Sept. 14 with 113 Merchants-managed vehicles supporting an unnamed global e-commerce company’s last-mile delivery operations on the island.

It is FleetShare’s first deployment outside the continental United States. Drivers at the site reserve and access vehicles through a mobile app, according to the release.

FleetShare now covers more than 8,000 managed vehicles across North America. Merchants, which leases vehicles to package delivery companies, runs the program for last-mile delivery, utility, and other fleets that share vehicles among drivers.

“Our expansion into Puerto Rico is more than geographic growth,” said Whitney Reynolds, vice president of FleetShare at Merchants Fleet. “It demonstrates FleetShare’s flexibility and reinforces our vision of helping organizations rethink how they manage fleet operations.”
