Custom Fleet has announced a new strategic partnership with Carbn Group, bringing together two organisations with aligned ambitions to help fleets transition to smarter, cleaner and more cost-efficient mobility solutions. The agreement will see Carbn’s technology and sustainability tools integrated into Custom Fleet’s offerings across Australia and New Zealand, giving fleet buyers, Fleet Managers, and Procurement teams new options for data-driven decision-making.
The partnership focuses on scaling Carbn’s technology platform and expanding the range of digital solutions available to Custom Fleet customers. According to Custom Fleet President Chris Tulloch, the partnership is a natural extension of the company’s direction.
“Custom Fleet is committed to leading the shift to sustainable, data-driven mobility. This partnership strengthens that commitment across Australia and New Zealand, combining our scale and experience with Carbn’s technology and innovation to create meaningful value for our customers.”
Carbn Group CEO Shaun Drylie highlighted the shared mission behind the collaboration.
“This partnership reflects a shared ambition to accelerate sustainable mobility through technology and innovation. Together, we’re helping businesses move more efficiently, cut emissions and reduce costs.”
What It Means for Fleet Operators
For Fleet Managers and procurement teams, the partnership signals a growing convergence of fleet management, sustainability tools and data-led optimisation. The combined offering aims to deliver measurable improvements in:
- Cost optimisation: using real-world utilisation data to right-size fleets and reduce operating costs.
- Asset utilisation: improving access models through shared mobility platforms and enhanced fleet visibility.
- Emissions reduction: identifying decarbonisation opportunities through advisory services, reporting tools and alternative mobility options.
Custom Fleet notes that the collaboration reinforces its long-term transformation strategy and supports the global decarbonisation goals of parent company Element Fleet Management. For Carbn Group, the move underlines its growing role as a technology partner enabling sustainable mobility at scale across ANZ.
Why This Matters for the Fleet Sector
Fleets across Australia and New Zealand are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions, improve utilisation and demonstrate better stewardship of public and private assets. The partnership between Custom Fleet and Carbn Group reflects broader market momentum, where fleet operators are seeking integrated solutions rather than standalone products.
For many organisations—particularly those beginning or accelerating the shift to lower-emission transport—this combined approach provides:
- A clearer line of sight between operational data and sustainability outcomes
- Practical advisory support to guide fleet strategy
- More flexible financing and mobility options aligned with changing workforce needs
The announcement also demonstrates how leading fleet providers are evolving beyond traditional leasing to play a more active role in transition planning, technology integration and digital fleet optimisation.
