Nikolai Shalaev spearheads TraXall's endeavor to offer self-governing fleet administration in Brazil
In a strategic move to address the growing demand for professional fleet management solutions in Brazil, Traxall International, a global leader in fleet management outsourcing services, is expanding its operations in the South American country.
Nikolai Shalaev, who heads Brazil operations for Traxall, is spearheading this expansion. With a rich background in the fleet management business since 2011, Shalaev started his career with Loftice and has been instrumental in the growth of Traxall Russia.
Traxall's Brazilian operations are poised to manage approximately 400,000 contracts upon the final regulatory approval of the acquisition, making it Europe's largest independent mobility & fleet management provider. This expansion is a testament to the huge potential of the Brazilian market, which is considered larger than many Latin American countries and several European markets.
The Brazilian market presents a significant opportunity due to its size and the need for customized solutions in fleet management. Traxall is committed to delivering localized solutions and translating their values to customers, as evidenced by the strong and professional team they have formed in Brazil.
Traxall's fleet managers work both remotely and at the client's offices, offering integrated services to manage all fleet-related tasks. They do not provide leasing services, fuel cards, or workshops, but manage leasing contracts, fuel spending, and repairs and maintenance through a nationwide network of contracted workshops.
Traxall's Sao Paulo office has been supporting international accounts for a few years and is now seeing increasing demand for fleet management services nationwide. The company sees 2024 as the year of boosting growth for its operations in Brazil and beyond, both in terms of the volume of managed vehicles and the ongoing growth of its professional excellence.
Traxall aims to become a trusted independent partner for suppliers in the fleet market, continually building relationships and constructing IT system connections with key players. This expansion strategy is consistent with Traxall's approach to international growth, which typically involves establishing local partnerships, focusing on tailored fleet services, and investing in regional offices to support growing markets.
While specific details about Traxall's expansion strategy in Latin America, particularly in the Brazilian market, are not yet publicly available, industry experts suggest that the company might set up local offices or partnerships, leverage technology solutions tailored for Latin American fleets, navigate Brazilian regulatory and tax environments for vehicle management, and target large corporate fleets requiring efficient cost and risk control.
In addition to its expansion in Brazil, Traxall International has recently announced its acquisition of the Fleet Logistics Group in Europe, further solidifying its position as a global player in the fleet management industry.
