On the products side , we ’ ll aim to strengthen our digital and telematics offerings to help customers reduce their operating costs and improve on-site safety .
“ We ’ ll continue to invest in our fleet beyond 2025 to ensure we provide our customers with the latest equipment that keeps them at the forefront of industry best practices . With the ongoing housing crisis in the UK , infrastructure investment is needed to ensure the country ’ s future economic prosperity , so we must ensure we ’ re ideally positioned and prepared to supply equipment for these projects .
“ As the industry increasingly leans towards digitalisation , we ’ ll continue to use data to help our customers gain value by improving the ways in which they use equipment ,” Jeremy concludes . “ Fuel-IT is a great example of how we can leverage technology , combined with our industry experience , to enable more productive operations and cost savings upon project completion without compromising quality or safety .” ■
