Robert Gwynn has been appointed Strategic Development Manager by Asset Alliance Group as the funder looks to grow its deployment of alternatively fuelled vehicles.
Mr Gwynn joins from Volta Trucks, where has was Policy and Public Affairs Manager. He brings experience of policy analysis and lobbying campaigns in the transport industry, and with Asset Alliance will be responsible for developing strategy around the transition of the supplier’s vehicle fleet from diesel to what it terms “renewable alternative fuels.”
An immediate priority for Mr Gwynn will be the delivery of fresh insights on alternative fuel technologies and government policy, driving developments to advance Asset Alliance’s ambitions around decarbonisation.
Speaking about the appointment, Asset Alliance Group Willie Paterson says: “Rob joins us at a pivotal moment in the company’s journey towards decarbonisation. By harnessing his expertise in environmental and sustainability issues, we will be better equipped to meet the changing needs of our customers.”
Mr Gwynn notes that Asset Alliance is “keenly aware of the importance that greener fuels have in a more sustainable future for the transport sector.” He adds that financing of vehicles is a significant challenge in transport decarbonisation, and that the funder has “a huge part to play” in enabling operators to move towards a greener future.
The insight work to be developed by Mr Gwynn will be coupled to efforts with vehicle manufacturers so that Asset Alliance can determine what assets it requires on its books, “ensuring that we offer expert advice to our own customers on how alternative fuels can fit in with their own sustainability plans,” he concludes.
